NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!Just days after President Donald Trump sent a warning to California about letting a male compete in girls’ track and field, the state allowed a trans athlete to take two state titles against female competitors. AB Hernandez, a transgender student athlete for Jurupa Valley High School, took first place in the girls’ high jump and triple jump at the state championship on Saturday at Veteran’s Memorial Stadium in Clovis, California.

Webster was the only female to finish ahead of Hernandez in any competition the trans athlete competed in this weekend. Hernandez previously took first place in all three events at the preliminary round on Friday. Meanwhile, female competitors who finished behind Hernandez in this weekend’s events were all bumped up one spot and received the medal they would have earned had the trans athlete not competed. The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) made a series of sweeping rule changes in the days leading up to the event to ensure any females who finished behind a biological male would be appropriately rewarded a medal based on where they placed among female competitors. So during the medal ceremonies for the three events, the female competitors who finished one spot behind Hernandez had to stand next to the trans athlete on the podium. Even with the rule changes, Hernandez’s presence in the girls’ competition prompted controversy and a heavy protest presence throughout the weekend. Conflicting protests plagued the championship starting on Friday with pro-LGBTQ protesters and pro-female protesters wielding signs, flags and clothing expressing their respective messaging.On Friday, a plane flying a banner that read “No Boys in Girls’ Sports!” even passed over the stadium. However, the conflict between the protesters at one point became violent, when an LGBTQ protester allegedly struck local conservative activist Josh Fulfer with a flag pole on Friday. Footage obtained by Fox News Digital shows the LGBTQ protester Ethan Kroll appear to attack Fulfer through a car window, and Kroll subsequently getting arrested. Police records obtained by Fox News Digital show that Kroll, a male, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm, obstructing a public officer and vandalism. Clovis Police Sgt. Chris Hutchison told Fox News Digital no other criminal incidents occurred at or near the track meet Friday night. “Our stance is always to allow people to exercise their constitutional right to free speech and protest,” Hutchison said. “They have a right to do it in a manner that isn’t inciting violence or causing other problems. … We don’t have room for violence or property damage or anything like that.” CALIFORNIA TOWN RALLIES BEHIND TRUMP AS IT HOSTS TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIP AMID TRANS ATHLETE CONTROV in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
