One of three Connecticut female high school track stars who have filed a
lawsuit to overturn the state athletic conference's transgender policy
told Fox News Monday night that legal action as "absolutely necessary."

Selina Soule, Alanna Smith, Chelsea Mitchell, and attorney Christiana
Holcomb discussed the lawsuit on "The Ingraham Angle."

Mitchell, a senior at Canton High School, claimed to Ingraham that she had
lost out four state championships and "countless other opportunities" due
to the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) police
allowing transgender high school athletes to compete without restrictions.

"There are so many girls [who] have been displaced because of this
[policy]," Mitchell told host Laura Ingraham. "And so, this lawsuit is
absolutely necessary to me."

Bloomfield High School's Terry Miller and Cromwell High School's Andraya
Yearwood would be stripped of the right to run track this spring if a
judge rules against state policy. Soule, Mitchell and Smith have
repeatedly competed against Miller and Yearwood, who have asked a federal
judge to delay ruling on a motion that would expedite a temporary
injunction. Their attorneys indicated to the court that they plan on
filing a motion to intervene this week.

According to the female athletes' complaint, the CIAC policy amounts to
"discrimination against girls that directly violates the requirements of
Title IX."

"Because schools are permitting males to compete as girls and women, girls
and women are losing competitive opportunities," the complaint reads. "To
American girls -- those born with XX chromosomes -- the message is, 'Give
up. You can't win.'"

Soule, a senior at Glastonbury High School, said the "continued
unfairness" spurred the decision to bring forward the lawsuit.

"I lost out on countless opportunities to get placements, get titles, and
qualify for further meets to display my talents to college coaches," she
said.

"I've lost out on getting runner-up at meets like states and regionals so
I took home a bronze medal when I should have been taking home a silver
medal," Danbury High School sophomore Alanna Smith added.

Holcomb told Ingraham that "courage begets courage" and described the
three athletes as incredibly courageous for taking a stand.

"They are high school girls. They should be able to focus on their love of
running ... and not have to be foisted into the center of this
controversy," she stated, adding: "I definitely think that there needs to
be something done to restore fairness."
