Jurupa Valley High School senior AB Hernandez scored first place in the girl\u2019s high jump, long jump and triple jump at Saturday\u2019s California Interscholastic Federation\u2019s (CIF) Southern Section Track and Field Masters meet at Moorpark High School in Ventura County.<\/p>\n

In all three events, Hernandez stood alongside the second-place finisher on the winner\u2019s podium.<\/p>\n

In all three categories, Hernandez\u2019s score far exceeded the competition.<\/p>\n

In the girl\u2019s high jump, Hernandez\u2019s mark was 5 feet, 8 inches while the second-place hit 5 feet, 6 inches. <\/p>\n

In the long jump competition, Hernandez posted a winning mark of 20 feet, 4.75 inches, while the runner-up landed a jump of 19 feet, 1.75 inches.<\/p>\n

In the triple jump, Hernandez posted a landed distance of 41 feet, 7.25 inches, compared 39 feet, 4 inches for the second-place finisher.<\/p>\n

The CIF previously announced it would continue the pilot entry process first introduced during last year\u2019s championships, saying that biological female competitors would be allowed to advance to the next round without winning the event amid tremendous criticism.<\/p>\n

The policy also guarantees medal placements for biological female athletes who would have otherwise finished behind a transgender competitor. <\/p>\n

The decision comes amid major backlash against officials over Hernandez\u2019s dominance.<\/p>\n

The issue has become one of the most explosive debates in California high school sports, with critics arguing the state\u2019s transgender participation policies conflict with protections for female athletes under Title IX.<\/p>\n
