A high school track meet in California was protested on Saturday as a transgender student athlete finished first in three jumping events.
Jurupa Valley senior AB Hernandez took the triple jump title at 42ft 4in, beating the nearest competition at the CIF Southern Section Division 3 preliminaries by several feet. Her long jump of 20ft, 4 1/4in was better than any other competitor at Yorba Linda High School in Orange County by more than a foot.
