Trans athlete AB Hernandez wins 2 Calif. H.S. jumping events
A transgender athlete bested the competition Saturday at the California high school track and field championships to take home gold in the girls' high jump and the triple jump at a meet that has stirred controversy and drawn national attention.
AB Hernandez competed under a new rule change that might be the first of its kind nationally by a high school sports governing body.
Hernandez finished the high jump with a mark of 5 feet, 7 inches, with no failed attempts. Co-winners Jillene Wetteland and Lelani Laruelle also cleared that height after each logged a failed attempt. The three shared the first-place win, smiling as they stepped together onto the podium.
