Riley Gaines should be ecstatic over this. University of Penn will revoke the swimming records set by Lia Thomas, a male who swam on the women's team because he identified as a woman.
Penn will also apologize to the female swimmers who had to deal with this and further ban transgender women (men) from female sports. Many Penn swimming records were given back to the rightful female owners.

The University of Pennsylvania took swift action on Tuesday to adhere to the resolution agreement reached with the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights after an investigation found that UPenn violated Title IX during the 2021-22 season because of the inclusion of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas.
As part of that resolution, UPenn agreed to restore individual titles and records to those female athletes that were "misappropriated by male athletes allowed to compete in female categories."

UPenn still acknowledges Lia Thomas records in update after resolution with Education Department
UPenn updated its record books following an investigation into Title IX violations, but Lia Thomas' records were still noted on the school's website.
