Yesterday, we raised the Save Women’s Sports flag over Nashua City Hall, where it will fly all week in the lead up to Selina’s Run, a virtual run starting on Saturday, October 17 to raise funds to benefit the mission of the Save Women’s Sports organization to protect fairness for female sports.

The event is named in honor of Selina Soule who was forced to compete against two men in a Connecticut high school championship race and lost.
From Alliance Defending Freedom:
At the 2019 Indoor Track & Field State Championships, Selina finished one place away from qualifying for finals, and the opportunity to compete for a qualifying spot at the New England Regional Championships in the 55-meter dash. The first and second spots in the race were taken by two male athletes. But this wasn’t just a disappointment for Selina. It meant she had to sit on the sidelines instead of competing in front of college scouts!
Had those two biological boys not been allowed to compete, Selina could have qualified to run the 55-meter event at the New England regionals.
Selina is suing the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference over Title IX violations for allowing men to compete in women’s sports.
