After Trans athlete's victory, crowd cheers second-place girl as ‘Real Champion'
At a recent high school track meet in California, 16-year-old Reese Hogan finished second in the girls' triple jump, and set a new personal and school record. The first-place spot went to AB Hernandez , a transgender athlete from Jurupa Valley. While Hernandez was awarded the top position, many in the crowd applauded Hogan as the "real champion." After the podium ceremony, Hogan briefly stood on the first-place platform for a photo, smiling proudly. Her quiet protest sparked strong reactions online, especially from people who believe girls' sports should be limited to athletes assigned female at birth. What's the Protect Girls' Sports movement The Protect Girls' Sports movement is an effort aimed at safeguarding fair competition and equal opportunities for female athletes in school and professional sports. It focuses on ensuring that girls' sports teams remain reserved for athletes who were assigned female at birth, based on biological differences that impact performance. Advocates argue that this protection is necessary to maintain a level playing field, prevent unfair advantages, and preserve the integrity of women's sports. The movement also highlights the importance of supporting girls' participation in athletics, promoting their physical and mental well-being, and celebrating their achievements in a space designed specifically for them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ative sua licença do antivírus agora Clique aqui Undo Support grows online After the event, Hogan received praise on social media, including from former NCAA swimmer and activist Riley Gaines . Gaines, who is known for speaking out on transgender athletes in women's sports, posted, 'Congrats to Reese Hogan, the REAL champ!' She and others shared the video of Hogan stepping onto the top podium once Hernandez had walked away, calling it a bold but respectful move. Tensions rise over the protest This isn't Hogan's first quiet protest. Just days earlier, she and several other girls wore 'Protect Girls Sports' shirts at a track prelim event. Officials told them to remove the shirts immediately before competing. According to the athletes, the request felt forceful and unfair, especially since other students wearing non-school shirts were not treated the same way. The girls complied to avoid being disqualified. Event officials respond The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) later confirmed that the shirt removal incident happened. They said all athletes must wear school-issued uniforms during competitions. However, witnesses claimed that only the girls wearing the 'Protect Girls Sports' shirts were asked to remove them, raising questions about equal treatment and free expression. Despite the controversy, Hernandez now qualifies for the CIF Masters Meet . Meanwhile, the debate about fairness in girls' sports continues to grow across the country. For many, Reese Hogan's quiet stand has made her more than just an athlete — she's become a symbol in a much larger conversation. The incident at the CIF Southern Section Finals, where Reese Hogan, a 16-year-old high school athlete, posed on the first-place podium after finishing second to a transgender athlete, has ignited a broader conversation about fairness in women's sports . Hogan's symbolic gesture, though controversial, underscores a growing concern among female athletes regarding the inclusion of transgender women in women's competitions. While it's essential to support and respect transgender athletes, it's equally important to ensure that the integrity and fairness of women's sports are maintained.

High school female track 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. However, as the athletes cleared off, Hogan seized the moment, walked on top of the first-place spot, smiled, and proudly posed for a picture. Her actions received praise from former NCAA swimmer and conservative influencer Riley Gaines, who dubbed Hogan the 'real' champion of the triple jump. 'When the boy got off the podium, she assumed her rightful spot as champion. The crowd erupts with applause,' Gaines posted on X. 'THIS is the way. Congrats to Reese Hogan, the REAL champ!!!' In another post, Gaines — who rose to fame after publicly criticizing her competitor, trans athlete Lia Thomas — also called out Hernandez for being a 'fraud.' 'The boy standing atop the podium holding up a 'number 1' is a fraud enabled by @CIFSS, @CA_Dem, & @CAgovernor,' she wrote on X.

X / @Riley_Gaines_ Hernandez defeated Hogan in the triple jump, beating her by over four feet, Sports Illustrated reported. Hogan was one of a number of high school girls' athletes in California who protested at the CIF Southern Section Division 3 Prelims at Yorba Linda High School on May 10 by wearing 'Protect Girls Sports' shirts, according to Fox News. The shirts were opposed by officials, who allegedly made Hogan and others remove them to compete in the postseason track meet. Female competitors told the outlet that officials at the meet told them to remove their shirts immediately and not allow them to take them off elsewhere. Junior trans athlete AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley (C) — who won titles in the girls' long jump and triple jump — posed with competitors to take pictures on the podium. X / @Riley_Gaines_ The high school female athletes alleged that the officials made them remove their shirts immediately, under their supervision, and didn't give them any additional time or opportunities to do it elsewhere. Hogan alleged that officials made her and others feel that if they did not remove the shirts, they would be disqualified. 'It wasn't said but it was implied that if I didn't take my shirt off then and there, then something could potentially happen to my spot, it wasn't said but it was implied,' Hogan said. 'Throughout the day it was kind of getting a little bit more stricter… getting a little bit more hostile with their voices… they never said anything about getting disqualified, but it was kind of implied by the tone of their voice and the way that they said things.' The CIF confirmed that the incidents occurred and said that the girls were wearing their school uniforms beneath their shirts. 'Per the CIF Southern Section Playoff Bulletin, all athletes must be dressed in proper, school issued, track uniforms,' the CIF told Fox News in a statement. 'The student-athletes were asked to comply with this while in the on-field event area, as they were wearing said shirts over their school-issued uniform.' However, witnesses at the event alleged that the officials did not give the same orders to athletes wearing other non-school-uniform shirts without the 'Protect Girls Sports' message. There were no reports that Hogan or other athletes wore the shirts at the CIF Southern Section Finals on Saturday. Hernandez, who currently holds the top marks in the state's long jump and triple jump, now qualifies for the CIF Southern Section Masters Meet held on May 24.
