CeCé Telfer is the first openly transgender woman to win an NCAA title.
The Jamaican -born athlete came out as a woman in 2019 .
She says running was her only sanctuary in a world where she felt she had to hide her true self.
Telfer says she and other trans athletes face harassment from people who say they shouldn't be allowed to participate on sports teams that match their gender identity.
Telfer said she's running for every person who’s ever been told they don’t belong.
“My goal is to compete in the next Olympics and try to overturn this horrible and dehumanizing ban,” she said. “ Protocols and policies need to be changed," she said.
