[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] High school runner beats her transgender competitor in state championship just two days after filing a lawsuit to block the track star from competing with girls due to 'unfair advantage'
- Canton High School girl Chelsea Mitchell won the Class S 55-meter dash title on Friday with her time of 7.18 seconds
- She beat Bloomfield High School student Terry Miller's 7.20 seconds
- Families of Mitchell, Selina Soule and Alanna Smith filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday to block transgender athletes in Connecticut from participating
- The lawsuit centers on two transgender sprinters, Miller and Andraya Yearwood, who have frequently outperformed their cisgender competitors
- Friday, Mitchell put her win down to her own talent not the potential affects of the lawsuit on the athletes involved
- But Mitchell doesn't think her win will affect the case because there are 'still tons of girls that lose on a daily basis'
