The now infamous Clovis Track Meet is over. It was
stopped briefly a couple of times due to "heckling" from the stands.
Some spectators were shouting slogans about girls sports being reserved
for actual girls. Pretty damn cheeky of them.
In
any event pretend girl AB Hernandez did pretty well as expected. He
cleared the high jump at 1.7 meters (5 ft 7 in) on his first attempt.
His "co-winners" were real girls, Jillene Wetteland and Lelani Laruelle
also cleared that distance with one failed attempt each.
Hernandez
also won the triple-jump beating out real girl Kira Hatcher by over 1/2
meter. The new arrangement results in both competitors sharing the
first spot.
Hernandez
placed second in the long jump to real girl Brooke White. Ms. White
describes herself as part of the queer community and expressed no issues
with competing against Hernandez.
The
same news article this info came from (KCRA TV NEWS) also says that
Loren Webster won the long jump by a few inches over Hernandez. I am
guessing it means that one of these was the initial qualifier on Friday
and one was the final on Saturday but it wasn't real clear from the
article.
The California
Interscholastic Federation (CIF) that sanctions these matches denies
that the changes in the rules were them knuckling under to the evil
orange man and asserts that they came to the new rules independently
before the Trump administration starting yelling about a Title IX
lawsuit.
