💨 Abstract

California's high school track-and-field state championships will test a new policy for transgender athletes. The California Interscholastic Federation will allow an additional student to compete and potentially medal in three events where trans athlete AB Hernandez is competing. Hernandez, a high school junior, is set to participate in the triple jump, long jump, and high jump. The policy is part of a broader debate over trans girls' participation in youth sports, with critics and proponents voicing strong opinions.
