On Saturday, at a girls’ high school track and field championship, a biological male dominated the competition.
Last year, AB Hernandez, a biological male high school student at Jurupa Valley High School in Riverside County. Hernandez qualified for and competed in the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) State Track & Field Championships in Clovis in the girls’ long jump, high jump, and triple jump.
Hernandez, who entered seeded first in the tournament, competed against women and finished first across all three competitions with dominant performances.
Hernandez, a trans multi-sport athlete (previously involved in girls’ volleyball), won the Long Jump Division 3 Prelim and Triple Jump Division 3 Prelim by wide margins and tied for first in the High Jump Division 3 Prelim with Reese Hogan, an athlete with past ties to Hernandez.
The long jump result separated the field. Hernandez posted 20 feet, 4 1/4 inches. The next closest finishers reached 19 feet, 1 1/2 inches and 18 feet, 7 inches.
More than a foot separated first from second.
The triple jump underscored the disparity. Hernandez recorded 42 feet, 4 inches. The runners-up finished at 39 feet, 7 1/2 inches and 37 feet, 8 inches.
Prior to the competition, a group held a “Save Girls’ Sports” rally to protest California’s policing of letting men compete against women.
