💨 Abstract

California is altering its high school track and field championships to accommodate more girls after a transgender athlete, AB Hernandez, qualified, sparking debate. The California Interscholastic Federation will create a pilot entry process to allow female student-athletes who narrowly missed the qualifying mark to compete. Hernandez's participation has drawn criticism, and this rule aims to ensure fairness for cisgender girls and inclusivity for trans athletes.
