Megyn Kelly cited detailed records showing male athlete June Eastwood's times were faster than long-standing women's collegiate records in multiple events: nearly 4 seconds faster in the 800m, faster than a decade-old record in the 1500m, and 13 seconds ahead in the 5000m. Meanwhile, media coverage called Eastwood 'transcendent.'
