"Non-Binary Runner Nikki Hiltz Secures National Title with Epic Comeback"
Nikki Hiltz, an openly non-binary athlete, made history by winning the women's 1500-meter national title at the 2023 USATF Outdoor Championships. With an impressive kick in the final 100 meters, Hiltz left their competitors, including Olympic gold medalist Athing Mu, in the dust. This victory secured Hiltz a spot on Team USA for the upcoming World Championships in Hungary, making them the first openly non-binary runner to represent the country at the event.
