Several female athletes are scheduled to speak at the “Our Body, Our Sport” rally in DC, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the enactment of Title IX.
Competitive swimmer Riley Gaines Barker was one of many speakers on maintaining all-female sports teams fifty years ago, the same day the Title IX law outlawed gender discrimination in schools came into effect.
The NCAA took the fifth-place trophy at the organization’s swimming championships this year after Barker shared fifth place with Leah Thomas in the women’s 200-yard freestyle. Barker said the NCAA gave Thomas the only trophy they had at the event, and eventually sent Barker a separate trophy.

Other speakers include world track and field champion Cynthia Monteleone; Alanna Smith, Chelsea Mitchell and Selina Soule, three New England schoolgirls competing against the boys; and ex Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI).
The event will take place at 11:00 am at Freedom Plaza.
