In 2018, Craig Telfer competed as a man and didn’t make much noise back then.

Craig would soon transition into a woman and rename himself as CeCe Telfer and has now won an NCAA women’s track national championship.

The Franklin Pierce University senior beat the eight-woman field in the Division II women’s 400-meter hurdles by more than a second, with a personal collegiate-best time of 57.53 over the weekend. On top of that, Telfer also earned All-American First Team honors with a fifth-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles at Javelina Stadium at Texas A&M-Kingsville.
