A high school meeting in southern California became the last point of inflammation in the current conflict with the administration of President Donald Trump about trans athletes in girls’ sports. There, the competitors of several girls fell first place for a biologically male trans athlete.
The final of the southern section of the Interscolastic Federation of California (CIF) on Saturday saw the Trans athlete take first place in the triple jump and the length of length. The finalist in the second place in the long jump was Katie McGuinness of the Canada High School.
McGuinness told the experience of losing to the Trans athlete in an interview about “America reports” by Pak Gazette.
“I remember thinking for myself, ‘Ok, I need to make a great jump,” said McGuinness.

“I ran along the track and I was terrified and I saw them measure my brand, and it was 18.9,” he said. “And I remember thinking that there was nothing but I could do. That was all. And he was honestly very discouraged, and I am a senior of high school and the winning CIF has always been my goal, and I could not compete with someone who was genetically different from me.”
McGuinness made clear his general position on the subject.
“There are simply certain genetic advantages that biological males have not biological girls,” he said. “Frankly, I can’t bear that.”
The finalist of the second place of the Trans athlete in Triple Jump, Reese Hogan de Crean Lutheran High School, made a point to be in the first podium for a quick and symbolic photograph. Hogan’s images taking first place on the podium after the Trans athlete went viral on social networks during the weekend.
Hogan had just competed against the trans athlete in the preliminaries a week earlier. In that case, Hogan also entered behind the trans athlete in the triple jump, ending third, and would have placed a higher place in which it was not for the trans athlete. But Hogan ended in front of the trans athlete in the height jump.
“He is a bit sad just looking. He is obviously a really talented athlete, we have all seen him jump and things, and I wish him the best of luck, but in a children’s division,” Hogan told Pak Gazette Digital about competing against the athlete. “It is quite obvious the certain advantages it has, and it is obviously sad as a woman to see that.”

Hogan also spoke at a press conference to protest against the trans athlete in the preliminaries and wore a shirt that said: “Protect girls’ sports.”
“It was nothing against the athlete itself, it was just an equity problem,” Hogan said previously. “Nothing we can do, there is no amount of training, there are no number of hours that we have passed, we could never achieve the same amount of advantages that a man can have.”
The CIF athletics postseason has been eclipsed by the controversy involving the trans athlete, obtaining the national scrutiny against the CIF and the governor of California Gavin Newsom. A spokesman for the United States Department of Education sent a warning to the State in the days prior to the final of the Southern CIF section, referring to previous reports that CIF officials caused competitors to eliminate their Protect Girls Sports shirts.
“CIF and the apparent breakdown of the Federal Civil Rights Law of the Juraup Valley High School allowing a male athlete to compete in a female athletics in California [Southern Sectional Division 3 final] This Saturday, and the alleged reprisal against girls who protest this, is indefensible, “said Julie Hartman, a spokeswoman for the Department of Education, Pak Gazette Digital.
The CIF is already under a federal investigation of the title IX on the state transininusion practices. The US Department of Education launched an investigation against CIF in February after President Donald Trump signed men outside the Women’s Executive Order. The CIF was one of the first secondary school leagues in the country to announce that it would challenge the order.
Newsom, in an episode in February of his podcast, said he believes that the trans athletes who compete in girls’ sports are “deeply unfair”, but has not taken any measurement as governor to change state policies. The State has had an established law that allows Trans athletes to compete with women since 2014.
“The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, who, at a surprising moment of moral clarity, recently commented that it was” deeply unfair “that men compete in women’s sports,” Hartman continued. “Where is Governor Newsom now? With or without the governor, the commitment of the Trump Administration Department is unwavering: we will not allow institutions to trample the civil rights of women. The OCR investigation (Civil Rights Office) on CIF continues with vigor.”
The Trans athlete represents jurupa Valley High School. The Unified School District of Jurupa provided a statement to Pak Gazette Digital in response to the declaration of the Department of Education.
“Jusd continues to follow California’s law and CIF policy regarding school athletics. Both state law and CIF policy currently require students Federal “, federal laws”, federal laws “, federal laws”, federal laws “, federal laws”, federal laws “, the laws of the declaration,”, federal laws, “, federal laws,”, federal laws, “, federal laws”.
