Despite Trump's warning

The state allows a trans athlete to play against two champions of a female rival on Saturday after President Donald Trump issued a warning to California to allow a trans athlete to compete in the women's track and field championship.

Jurupa Valley High School trans student-athlete Ab Hernandez won the women's high jump and triple jump in the state championship game Saturday at the veteran's Memorial Stadium in Clovis, California.

Hernandez also ranked second in the high jump at Woodrow Wilson High School’s Loren Webster, and she is the only woman to lead Hernandez in any competition this weekend when trans athletes compete.

Hernandez had previously finished first in all three games in Friday's preliminary match.

But the female competitors behind Hernandez in the event have hit a position and won medals if they don't compete in trans athletes.

The California Interschool Federation (CIF) has made a series of sweep rules changes a few days before the event to ensure that any woman completed behind a biological male will be properly rewarded based on the position of the female competitor.

Therefore, during the medal ceremony of the three events, the female competitor who ended a spot behind Hernandez had to stand next to the trans athlete on the podium.

Still, Hernandez's presence in the women's game sparked controversy and protests throughout the weekend.

Contradictory protests began on Friday to bother the champions, professional LGBTQ protesters and female protesters who expressed their respective messaging, waving signs, flags and costumes.

On Friday, a plane flew a banner with the words “No girl in sports boy!” and even passed the stadium.

But the clash between protesters became violent when LGBTQ protesters allegedly hit local conservative activist Josh Fulfer with a flagpole on Friday. Video obtained by Fox News Digital showed that LGBTQ protester Ethan Kroll appeared to attack Fulfer through a car window, and Kroll was subsequently arrested.

Police records obtained by Fox News Digital Show, a male Kroll was arrested for attacking with a deadly weapon other than a gun, hindering public officials and vandalism.

Clover Police Sgt. Chris Hutchison told Fox News that there were no other crimes in or near track and field competitions Friday night.

“Our position is always to allow people to exercise their constitutional rights to speak freely and protest,” the Hang Room said. “They have the right to do this in a way that does not incite violence or cause other problems. … We have no room to cause violence or property damage or something like that.”

But on Saturday, California Family Council outreach director Sophia Lorey was accompanied by CIF officials from the senior memorial stadium as they radiated the “Save Women's Sports” wristband and provided the audience with pro-women news. Video shared by Lorey on social media shows as Lorey signalled her confrontation with CIF officials on the venue.

Lorey told Fox News Digital that she had delivered the messages in previous events without any problems.

“We distributed half a page of flyers in the preliminaries and we were not told anything we could not do,” Lowry said.

Fox News Digital has contacted CIF to comment on Lorey's video.

Lorey and local conservative activist Beth Bourne told Fox News Digital that unlike previous events, a man on a megaphone repeatedly ordered viewers not to make derogatory comments to any competitors, officials or other audiences on Saturday.

Lorey organized a press conference at a meeting earlier in the day, with California 2026 gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton speaking in support of protecting the women's movement from transgender abuses.

Incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom has been subjected to frequent local and national criticism throughout the track and field playoffs, although he has previously admitted on podcasts that he believes men who participate in women's sports are “very unfair”, even though he believes he thinks men acknowledge his competition in podcasts.

Trump picked the news in a Truth Society post on Tuesday when he threatened to cut funds in a match that allowed a trans athlete to compete in women's competition this weekend. But instead of succumbing to Trump, the state simply passed a rule change to accommodate other female athletes.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced an investigation into the state on Wednesday, and the U.S. Department of Education has investigated the state since February.

However, California is far from the only state to see its Women's Track and Field Championships cover up the controversy over Trans athletes.

The same weekend, trans athletes reportedly competed and won state games in Maine, Washington, Oregon and Minnesota.

Trump signed his executive order to “remove men from women’s movement” on February 5, but many democracies have publicly violated the order, leading to multiple controversial situations, such as the 2025 order involving Hernandez.
