Overview
- Jurupa Valley senior AB Hernandez won the girls long jump, high jump, and triple jump at the CIF Southern Section Division 3 finals on Saturday in Moorpark.
- During medal ceremonies, officials named co-champions and gave duplicate golds to the girls who finished behind Hernandez under a pilot policy introduced last year.
- The CIF policy moves female athletes up one place in events that include a transgender competitor and can add extra qualifiers to the next round.
- The meet drew a large and vocal crowd of about 2,000, and at least one runner-up skipped the podium as others shared or declined the top step.
- A parent told Fox News a coach said the pilot will remain in place through the postseason, with CIF preliminaries next Saturday and state finals starting May 29 in Clovis, while the dispute continues under state law and a federal Title IX lawsuit filed last July.
