THAT THING THAT NEVER HAPPENS...JUST HAPPENED AGAIN....HS FEMALE TRACE STAR POSES ON FIRST PLACE PODIUM AFTER FINISHING SECOND TO TRANS ATHLETE: "REAL CHAMP!"

A California high school female athlete didn’t let coming in second to a male-born transgender competitor prevent her from standing in the top spot on the podium during placement at a state track and field meet. Reese Hogan, 16, was crowned second place in the triple jump at the CIF Southern Section Finals on Saturday — despite setting a new personal record for herself and the Crean Lutheran High School at 37 feet, 2 inches.

Standing in first place, junior trans athlete AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley, who won titles in the girls’ long jump and triple jump, posed with competitors to take pictures on the podium.Read more at California track star Reese Hogan poses as winner after placing second to trans athlete AB Hernandez, praised by Riley Gaines
