Verónica Garcia did not hear the boos when the race started last weekend.
When she took the lead in the State 2A girls 400-meter run at the track and field championships in Tacoma, they grew in volume and became unmistakable as she reached the finish line to become the first transgender high school athlete to place first in state.
Such victories are typically a time for celebration but the East Valley High School junior’s win has sparked controversy.
People criticized Garcia all season for participating on the girls track team. Yet the jeers at Saturday’s meet were “a bit more severe,” she said.
Garcia cheered and clapped for her competitors as they received their medals. When the announcer called her to the podium, the crowd fell silent and the other high school runners at the podium did not acknowledge her as they stood with hands clasped behind their backs.
As she accepted her gold medal, a voice in the crowd could be heard yelling, “She’s not a girl!”
Garcia expected the chilly reaction from the crowd, though she was “somewhat hurt” her peers did not offer congratulations.
“I guess maybe I expected sportsmanship because I was cheering the rest of them on when they were called. So I guess I expected to get that reciprocated,” she said. “But I didn’t get that.”

The best woman is a man !
So a guy wins a girls’ track and field race. He should be so proud.
We’re not supposed to notice her pecker.
I saw a video clip just recently of Serena Williams saying that if the top women in tennis were to compete against even mediocre men they'd get creamed. The interviewer then said something like "I don't believe that" and she replied that it was true...and did so in a slightly annoyed tone.
She was speaking the truth.
John McEnroe has been saying the same Serena did, for years.
And the folks on tv he says it to always react with incredulity and annoyance. Sadly, the ‘Girl Power!’ brainwashing has succeeded with a lot of folks.
Looked like there was a tiny one.
“Why can’t a woman be more like a man?” rex Harrison, “my Fair Lady”.
Some journeyman male pro actually clobbered both Serena and Venus one-on-one on the same day. It’s just not a fair match physically but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a real woman who can dominate their sport as the Williams girls did for almost two decades.
Silly ‘journalist’ He is NOT a she.
Appalling what an education in applied lying, nothingness and illogic can do to an already weak mind.
a great day for male supremacy
where are the feminists?
All the girls have to do is scratch their entries and there will be no race. Maybe race officials will take notice and stop this nonsense. The ball is in the girls court.
“Boy wins girls track meet”
Lackluster males who race competitively against females have not
an iota of shame and scoff at fairness.
Cheating mentally ill freak!
That is probably the only and the best solution.
But, I think, the girls are afraid of being called transphobes.
The pathetic mentally ill fool needs mental health treatment pronto before he murders someone or kills himself.
Maybe one of the top ten boy’s soccer teams, or top ten boys basketball teams should all declare trans and go for the gold. It’s ok evidently in the state of Washington. National high school champs anyone.
“But I didn’t get that.”
Cuz yer a guy, sooo...
