Perhaps the most well-known high-school track athlete in the nation, male AB Hernandez just took top honors at a highly competitive track meet … in the girls’ events.
Hernandez, a biological boy competing as a “trans girl,” has made headlines throughout his high-school career, this time for winning top honors in the long jump and triple jump, and coming in third in the high jump.
The meet was California’s Arcadia Invitational, where a post-event interviewer fawned over Hernandez and his success, calling it “truly extraordinary”:
AB Hernandez is still at it.
Over the weekend, he stole first in the girls’ long jump & triple jump at an invitational track meet.
Listen to how this interviewer fawns all over him.
Do we think he’s already gotten a college scholarship or no? How will the NCAA handle this? pic.twitter.com/IN08vsfXQg

One researcher on X pointed out that Hernandez’s winning triple jump at 42 feet wouldn’t crack the top 1,000 jumps among America’s high-school boys.
No, it’s not a big deal for boys. The top American high school boys are jumping over 50 feet.
Ab Hernandez wouldn’t be in the top 100 or even 1000 in the U.S.

A report in Not the Bee noted that Hernandez, a student at Jurupa Valley High School in Riverside County, California, is now a senior, so his career now shifts to the college ranks, though there are doubts he’d be able to compete there at a high level, even as a “girl.”
Hernandez’s participation in girls’ volleyball also has raised eyebrows over the years, with several matches being forfeited over fear he would injure girls.
Last fall President Trump sounded the alarm about Hernandez, posting, “”California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow ‘MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SPORTS.’
“This week a transitioned Male athlete, at a major event, won ‘everything,’ and is now qualified to compete in the ‘State Finals’ next weekend.
“As a Male, he was a less than average competitor. As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable.”
