## Key points

- Two Maine students challenged rules for girls’ sports.
- Their attorney planned a federal Title IX complaint.
- The dispute follows earlier federal action over Maine’s policies.

## Summary

Two Maine high school students spoke at a news conference in Augusta about competing against transgender athletes, saying they believe current eligibility rules disadvantage female competitors. Their attorney said she planned to file a federal civil rights complaint under Title IX, asking for an investigation and changes to the policies.

Reagan Wilson described facing transgender competitors in several sports, while Morgan Clark discussed Windham’s 1-1 draw with South Portland on 1 October. A draft complaint identifies a South Portland player and says the player had 15 goals and 10 assists by the team’s 27 October playoff match. Both teams were later eliminated in regional semi-finals. The dispute comes amid an earlier federal noncompliance finding and lawsuit; Maine officials and the state principals’ association have defended their approach under the Maine Human Rights Act.
