NOW: Trans Athlete AB Hernandez Takes Girls’ Track And Field State Championships In California, Defying Trump – Fox News
Just days after President Donald Trump sent a warning to California about letting a male compete in girls’ track and field, the state allowed a trans athlete to take two state titles against female competitors.
AB Hernandez, a transgender student athlete for Jurupa Valley High School, took first place in the girls’ high jump and triple jump at the state championship on Saturday at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Clovis, California.
Hernandez also finished in second place in the high jump to Woodrow Wilson High School’s Loren Webster. Webster was the only female to finish ahead of Hernandez in any competition the trans athlete competed in this weekend.
