CLOVIS, Calif. (AP) — A transgender athlete bested the competition Saturday at the California high school track and field championship to take home gold in the girls high jump and the triple jump at a meet that has stirred controversy and drawn national attention.

Green has popped four 40-foot throws this spring with one being her PR 42-8 ¼ that ranks No. 9 in the state. Her most recent was a 40-6 to notch fifth place at groups and she has one more 40-foot throw from the winter — an indoor PR 41-3.
