Will be interesting to see how this plays out when top level girls who have an extremely huge stake in this have to compete with them.

The solution is for the actual girls to boycott this and every event that allows this to happen.
Does the NCAA allow transgender athletes to compete? Does Andraya have a shot at a womans' scholarship?

Sadly, that is the only way that big sponsors will take notice. They can apply the needed pressure to really change things. I doubt a boycott of the sponsors' products would be as effective as the optics of a bunch of biological girls all getting up and walking away from the track when the start gun is fired.

Yes, and it is stricter than high school though. It requires a year or two of consistent proof of lower testosterone levels.
But the athlete has already gone through male puberty and got the associated skeletal and cardiovascular advantages that comes with that.
I've been proposing an elegant solution to this debacle ever since Semenya and the other questionable "females" began dominating the women's 800m:
The XX females make a pact that when the gun goes off, they don't move a muscle, count out loud, together, "On your mark, set, GO" and have a race of their own.
A race that is not an utter travesty.
Men are better at being women than women themselves. Men are the future in women's sports. The future is male. To deny this is transphobia.

That is most certainly not the solution; that is just some idiot spouting nonsense.
The competitors should exercise good sportsmanship and compete fairly.
The solution is the for the institutions making the rules to fix the rules, not to expect the athletes to disobey the rules.

Great idea!

Don't you mean udder travesty?
Another dimension to making it fair, in my opinion, at this point, is to just allow the female athletes competing, the actual biological ones, to take PEDs.
it really is no different than what the transgender athlete has been doing up until the point they decide to do hormone treatment. Connecticut does not even require hormone therapy. It only requires you to declare it, with no gender-affirming biological actions needed. (i.e. hormone therapy or sex reassignment surgery).
What are the odds for this Andraya Yearwood transgender girl? The likelihood that they would win whatever event they're entered in?
He was 31st out of 36.

The girls being cheated can thank their Volvo-driving pink hat wearing white upper middle class suburban I'm With Her moms.
As an old taxpayer I think this is great. Eventually Title IX will be dead, chop off that much from the public school athletic program budget. I sport - 1 team. If you have a kiebasa or not, no problem.
Guess CT is not a transgender sprinting power state.

Today in the Finals of the 60 meter hurdles, CeCe Telfer is the number 3 seed after finishing second in her heat in the preliminaries yesterday. (Telfer's time would have won the other heat.) Telfer competed as Craig in men's events as a college sophomore.
We could have an NCAA national champion today. But it is coming, whether it happens today or not. 5:00 Eastern.

I'm not sure if you're being snarky re "competing fairly." It IS awful, but think the best way is the finals actual girls just go down as DNF.
The more horrible approach is to allow actual girls to take testosterone, which would f them up as much as the boys who're taking estrogen.
My boys 4th grade aau team (later won aau nationals) came up against clearly a team filled with kids who were in 7th or 8th grade. My kids coach did the right thing and forfeited the final game.
I'm super glad my girl had her run at sports without this cheating being permitted.
So according to the rules that means she's had a year's worth of hormones? I had never heard that. If that's true, then have her times slowed down a lot?
Can someone show me her times as a woman and as a man? IF she was on hormones, her times should go down by A LOT.
How did she do?
