MMC Staff Member Chris Mosier Makes Sports History

Marymount Manhattan College Assistant Director of Residence Life, Chris Mosier, has made major sports history as the first known out trans athlete to win a spot on a USA national team that matches their identified gender.

“Winning a spot on Team USA in the men’s sprint duathlon Saturday, Chris Mosier has become the first known out trans athlete to join a U.S. national team that matches his gender identity, rather than the gender assigned him at birth. Mosier, 34, earned his spot in LGBT sports history at this weekend’s Duathlon National Championship, after finishing seventh out of eight spots in the men’s 35-39 category, according to Outsports. He finished 37th overall out of 117 competitors, spending just over an hour on the endurance event that requires competitors to run, then bike, then run again.” - Advocate.com

Aside from his work at Marymount Manhattan College, Mosier is an advocate for trans athletes nationwide. He is the founder of TransAthlete.com and is the executive director of the world’s largest LGBT student athlete network, GO! Athletes.

Congratulations Chris, MMC is so proud of your accomplishments!
