A former track and field athlete on Thursday sued Swarthmore College, multiple athletic department officials and the NCAA for allegedly discriminating against her as a transgender woman, ESPN reported Friday.

The athlete, Evie Parts, believes the accused parties violated her "Title IX rights, inflicted emotional distress and engaged in a civil conspiracy," as summarized by ESPN. Neither the NCAA nor officials from Swarthmore responded to the outlet's request for comment.
