The trans athletes who are ruining everyday teen girl's chances on the track

The trans athletes who are ruining everyday teen girl's chances on the track

Daily Mail​24-05-2025

Teenage girls across America have been pushed out of sporting wins by transgender competitors as furious parents demand action to protect women's athletics.
The latest controversy erupted at a California track meet where teenage athlete Reese Hogan made a statement after being beaten into second place by transgender competitor AB Hernandez.
After posing for the official photo with Hernandez on the winner's podium, Hogan stepped up to claim the top spot herself once the cameras stopped rolling.
Political activist Riley Gaines praised the bold move.
'When the boy got off the podium, she assumed her rightful spot as champion. The crowd erupts with applause. THIS is the way. Congrats to Reese Hogan, the REAL champ!' she wrote on X.
Hernandez dominated the CIF Southern Section Finals last Saturday, winning both the triple jump by over four feet and claiming the long jump title while finishing seventh in high jump.
The victories follow a pattern of trans athlete's overwhelming success against natural born female competitors.
Just weeks earlier, a trans high school athlete won a girls' triple jump and long jump event at the Roosevelt international in California in March.
Hogan 'assumed her rightful spot,' Riley Gaines, a political activist who fights against trans women in female sports, said
And weeks before that, Hernandez sparked outrage by winning the triple jump at Ontario Relays by a staggering eight feet over the runner-up.
AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley won the triple jump by nearly three feet, according to official records, while the margin of victory in the long jump came in at a distance of nearly two feet.
It comes a week after Hernandez won the triple jump at Ontario Relays by eight feet over the runner-up.
Hernandez's participation have sparked anger on social media.
Jennifer Sey, founder of the organization XX-XY - which vows 'to protect women's sports and spaces' - shared video of Hernandez on X and wrote: 'This guy won the girls long jump and triple jump in a CA track meet over the weekend. He won the triple jump by 8ft. He's really crushing it!'
Colin Rugg, the co-owner of Trending Politics, also shared footage of Hernandez competing to his 1.7million followers and said: 'Transgender high school track star demolishes the female competition by *8 feet* in the triple jump at a track meet in California.
'Wow, what an accomplishment. I'm sure it had nothing to do with being a biological male. AB Hernandez says they plan to win 1st place in the state of California for the triple jump.'
The California controversy comes as similar incidents occurred this month.
In Illinois, parents expressed 'shock' and 'disbelief' after a transgender middle school athlete reportedly won three events against seventh-grade girls.
It's alleged that the transgender pupil won three events while competing against seventh-grade girls during the Naperville School District 203 meet. The beaten kids were said to be 'distraught' and 'devastated' and the controversy prompted fury among families.
'I was actually shocked. At first, I couldn't believe it,' Marie Davis told KBCD . 'I started talking to other parents, and it's like, is this really happening?'
Doug Krein added: 'It's pretty upsetting to see your kid distraught out there trying to do her best and doesn't really have a shot.'
Krein's 12-year-old daughter would have won a 200m medal if not for the transgender athlete. He told Fox News : 'My job as a parent is to advocate for my daughter and protect her. And the hardest thing is trying to tell her why she lost to a boy in seventh grade... it's like they're trying to erase women's sports. Erase women.'
It comes amid President Trump's attempts to ban transgender athletes from female events.
After returning to the White House, the president signed an executive order entitled 'Keeping Men out of Women's Sports'.
His administration has been at war with the state of Maine over its alleged failure to comply with his stance and now Naperville School District 203 is under attack.
Social advocacy group Awake Illinois has reportedly filed a US Department of Education civil rights complaint, accusing the district of violating Title IX, which 'prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs and activities.'
Frustrations came to the boil at a fiery school board meeting on Monday night. It's said so many people turned up that organizers had to set up an overflow room.
Many people held up transgender flags and signs which carried messages such as 'the future is inclusive'.
'This is not about politics. This is about people. This is about a child,' one speaker said. But others urged the district to 'support common sense' and 'stop exploiting kids.'
'No girl should be denied participating in a conference championship because a genetic boy is taking that spot,' another parent argued.
In a statement to KCBD, the school district refused to discuss to track meet. 'In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and district policy, we cannot and will not share personal or identifiable information about any student,' it said.

Bruins tab former player Marco Sturm as new head coach

June 5 - The Boston Bruins hired Marco Sturm as their new head coach Thursday, filling the final vacant position in the NHL. Sturm, 46, will be a head coach for the first time in the league. The Bruins punched their ticket to the playoffs in eight consecutive seasons before limping to an Atlantic Division-worst 33-39-10 record in 2024-25. Boston replaced head coach Jim Montgomery after 20 games on Nov. 19, with interim head coach Joe Sacco finishing the season with a 25-30-7 mark. Sturm said he welcomes the opportunity to preside over a team he represented from 2005-10. "I'm incredibly honored to be named head coach of the Boston Bruins," Sturm said. "I want to thank Charlie Jacobs and the Jacobs family, (Bruins president) Cam Neely, and (general manager) Don Sweeney for trusting me with this opportunity. Boston has always held a special place in my heart, and I know how much this team means to the city and to our fans. I've felt that passion as a player, and I can't wait to be behind the bench and feel it again. I'm excited to get to work and do everything I can to help this team succeed." Sweeney credited Sturm's attention to defensive hockey as one of the reasons for his hiring. "Throughout this process, our goal was to identify a coach who could uphold our strong defensive foundation while helping us evolve offensively," Sweeney said. "We were also looking for a communicator and leader -- someone who connects with players, develops young talent, and earns the respect of the room." Sturm has coached Ontario of the American Hockey League for the past three seasons, guiding the Reign to the playoffs in all three campaigns. Sturm totaled 487 points (242 goals, 245 assists) in 938 career games with the San Jose Sharks, Bruins, Los Angeles Kings, Washington Capitals, Vancouver Canucks and Florida Panthers. He was traded from the Sharks to the Bruins as part of the Joe Thornton deal on Nov. 30, 2005. Sturm is Germany's all-time leader in NHL games played. --Field Level Media

NFL fans demand their teams sign female flag football star

A women's flag football star has caught the attention of NFL fans after showing off her hugely impressive arm strength. Ava Hanson, the starting quarterback for Wellington High School's flag football team, left NFL fanbases begging for her to sign after leaving them stunned with her display at the Florida state championships last month. In a video posted by user legendaryproductions727 on TikTok, Hanson can be seen dropping back before delivering a roughly 40-yard bomb right in stride to a receiver. The quarterback's Wellington teammate, Avery Schroeder, then scampered into the end zone as the crowd went wild. The impressive play has earned 2.5million views on TikTok - and has plenty of NFL fans asking their team to sign the talented passer. 'I've seen enough welcome to the Atlanta falcons blonde QB,' one wrote. ''She busy? Dolphins need a new QB,' a second added. 'On behalf of the Dallas Cowboys we'd like to welcome you and discuss possible contractual terms,' a third chimed in. And a fourth said: 'Both of York NOW!!!' While fans of those teams may not get their wish, it's possible that they could see the star passer at the upcoming Olympics. Flag football will be part of the Games for the first time in 2028 when they take place in LA. And the sport will feature both men's and women's divisions. However, before any shot at the Olympic stage, Hanson, a senior at the Palm Beach County school, is set to take her impressive skills to the collegiate level. In April, Hanson committed to playing for the Hendrix Warriors - a private liberal arts college in Conway, Arkansas - under head coach Doug Peterson. She had also attracted offers from Daytona State College, University of Mount Olive in North Carolina, and Midland University in Nebraska. The gunslinger threw for 3694 yards and 59 touchdowns for Wellington throughout this past season. Hanson and Wellington narrowly missed out on claiming glory at the state championships, which were held at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' AdventHealth Training Center on May 8-10. They were narrowly beaten in the 4A final by the Alonso Ravens - a Tampa area school - in a devastating 21-20 overtime defeat.

Rick Pitino says he would 'absolutely not' coach Knicks

June 5 - St. John's coach Rick Pitino said he has zero interest in becoming head coach of the New York Knicks again. "Absolutely not," Pitino said during a broadcast of Wednesday's game between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians, per CBS Sports. "I think whoever comes in, if he doesn't get to the Finals, it's going to be deemed an unsuccessful season," he continued. "So, whoever comes in has got so much pressure on them to take this team to the next level cause that's why they're doing it, obviously, in their minds." The Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday despite reaching the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years. The Knicks haven't reached the NBA Finals since 1999 and have not won a championship since 1973. Pitino, 72, compiled a 90-74 record with two playoff appearances in two seasons as the head coach for New York from 1987-89. The Hall of Famer completed his second season as the head coach at St. John's in 2024-25, winning national and Big East Coach of the Year honors after finishing 31-5. Thibodeau compiled a 226-174 (.565) record in five seasons with the Knicks, including a 51-31 finish this season. He was 24-23 in the playoffs with New York. --Field Level Media
