Man Wins Women’s 1500M at Canadian Masters Indoor Championships

Tiffany Newell, a transgender female runner, placed first at the 2023 Canadian Masters Indoor Championships over the weekend after Newell’s previous record in the women’s 5,000-meter race was recently ratified. 
Newell, 50, beat out Catherine Weber, the sole opponent competing in the Women’s 1500-meter indoor race for their respective age group, on Saturday at the 12th Canadian Masters Indoor Championships in Toronto. 

Newell was finished in 5:07.62. 

Weber, 53 years old, was nearly one minute slower than Newell, finishing at 6:19.36. 

Newell’s first place finish is just one year after Newell broke Canada’s W45-49 record for the 5,000-meter event at Toronto’s York University.
