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.

Has trump not cut their funding?
If the Trump administration dies not do more than issue threats this is not going to end! People allowing this to happen need to be held personally accountable. I also really wish all the female athletes would band together and not even show up for these travesties. Parents should also remove their children from these schools.
Just remember friends, it was the women’s liberation movement that demanded women are as good as men in every respect. Now that men see the respect women are getting in sports...they want a piece of that action too. The moral... “Being careful what you ask for” is ALWAYS followed by The law of unintended consequences. Always! follows the warning
“If the Trump administration dies not do more than issue threats this is not going to end!”
That is solely in the hands of the current Republican Congress and they are not about to do anything because they are too cowardly.
“Crean Lutheran High School”
Perhaps this high school doesn’t receive fed funds...even Charlie Kirk said on a podcast that he even texted Newsome before the event to not allow it. If he chooses to run for POTUS this mentally ill type stuff will knock him out of the race early.
Why can’t these people compete against themselves? They’re not female.
Who was the other school(s)? If state funded they should lose funds.

Some states have made laws against this bizarre phenom but apparently other states that allow this perversion of mental illness is the hill the rats chose to die on.
funny how none of the women who think they are men compete against real men. It is only these mentally ill men who think they are women who do this
“If you ain’t first you’re last”
Maybe not in all environmentist twists.
I predict that the ultimate end of all this nonsense will be the elimination of ALL sports from public schools.
You need to do some reading on Federalism and the roles of the State in our country.
I’m getting really sick and tired of these pretending assholes who think they can be anything they want no matter how ridiculously stupid. Males competing in female sports are bullies and also cowards. They have a sick need to beat someone in competition even the opposite sex. Doesn’t matter to them, the phony glory is what they crave.
He did. And an unelected judge said he couldn’t.
Result TBD
Federalism died at the hands of the Yankees in 1865.
This guy needs to be set up to have both his testicles torn off or completely crushed during his next match. Maybe a sympathetic real man who would “identify” as a woman just in order to get in the game to get some pay back for this poor girl.
