Transgender athlete AB Hernandez won a state medal Saturday as angry parents and activists rallied outside the CIF State Track & Field Championships, demanding female events be reserved for biological girls. Hernandez, a senior at Jurupa Valley High School, advanced to Saturday’s finals in the girls’ long jump, high jump and triple jump after posting the top qualifying mark in two events during Friday’s preliminary round. The athlete has become one of the most controversial figures in high school sports, drawing national attention and fierce criticism from parents, competitors and women’s sports advocates who argue that biological males should not compete in girls’ divisions.
