Sedona Prince Has a Message for You
When Sedona Prince arrived in San Antonio in March for her first N.C.A.A. women’s basketball tournament, she was grateful just to be playing again after a long recovery from an injury. But then Prince, who was a redshirt sophomore at the University of Oregon last season, noticed something that troubled her: striking differences between the weight room setups, meals and coronavirus testing available at the women’s tournament versus the men’s, which was occurring simultaneously in the Indianapolis area.

But then Prince, who was a redshirt sophomore at the University of Oregon last season, noticed something that troubled her: striking differences between the weight room setups, meals and coronavirus testing available at the women’s tournament versus the men’s, which was occurring simultaneously in the Indianapolis area.
Inspired to raise awareness about some of the inequities women face in sport, Prince, 21, made a video comparing the women’s “weight room” — a rack of dumbbells and some yoga mats — with the vast, fully equipped workout gym available to the men. She shared it on TikTok and Twitter.
