A transgender track athlete again took the top position in several events at a California master's meet on Saturday, leading officials to grant a second gold medal to the runner-up.
Jurupa Valley High School senior AB Hernandez scored first place in the girls' high school long jump and triple jump at Saturday's California Interscholastic Federation's Southern Section Track and Field Masters meet at Moorpark High School in Ventura County.
In all three events, Hernandez stood alongside the second-place finisher on the winner's podium.
In all of the three categories, Hernandez's score far exceeded the competition. In the girls' high jump, Hernandez's mark was 5 feet, 8 inches, while the second-place hit 5 feet, 6 inches.
