The NCAA has announced a biological woman as their choice to represent the Ivy League to compete for the “Woman of the Year” title over Lia Thomas, the transgender athlete who made headlines after leaving men’s swimming to compete against women.

Columbia University fencer, Sylvie Binder, will be the Ivy League’s pick. The award is meant to honor women student-athletes who have “distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college career.” Binder, a senior from Armonk, New York, won the NCAA Fencing Championship in 2019.

Binder was selected over Thomas, whose eligibility was hotly contested as Thomas is biological male who identifies as a woman and began transition in 2019. Thomas swam for the men’s swim team representing the University of Pennsylvania for three seasons before transitioning to compete against female swimmers, breaking records and winning championships in the women’s division.
