In this Exclusive episode of The Riley Gaines Show, Sixteen-year-old Washington State athlete Ahnaleigh Wilson joins Riley Gaines after a viral moment at the Seattle Storm vs. Indiana Fever game, where she and a friend held signs thanking Sophie Cunningham for standing up for girls’ sports.
Ahnaleigh explains what happened courtside, how she reacted when the incident spread online, and why the issue is personal for her as a high school runner who says she has competed against multiple biological males in track and cross country. She also opens up about the support, backlash, and private encouragement she has received from classmates, teachers, administrators, and public figures.
Riley and Ahnaleigh discuss Sophie Cunningham, the Seattle Storm response, the pressure on young women who speak publicly, and Ahnaleigh’s goals for her junior year, college recruiting, and future in running.
