Transgender athlete AB Hernandez nets state track bronze amid easing protests
TL;DR
Jurupa Valley senior AB Hernandez, a transgender athlete, earned bronze in the CIF state championship long jump with a 20 feet, 2 1/4 inches effort, medaling for a second consecutive year behind Ellie McCuskey-Hay and Gianna Gonzalez. CIF policy awards medals to transgender athletes without displacing cisgender girls in final standings. Hernandez also prepared to compete in the high jump and triple jump later, as this year’s meet saw calmer demonstrations than last year despite ongoing protest activity around transgender athletes.
