California Changes Rules for Track Championship But Still Allows Males in Female Category
The DOJ has started investigating California for possible violations of federal law.
The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) is trying to appease both sides after male athletes continue to dominate track events in the female category.
Leslie mentioned the changes in her piece about President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw funding from California for allowing males to participate in female sports.
I want to expand on it, though.
This sounds decent at first:
Under this pilot entry process, any biological female student-athlete who would have earned the next qualifying mark for their Section’s automatic qualifying entries in the CIF State meet, and did not achieve the CIF State at-large mark in the finals at their Section meet, was extended an opportunity to participate in the 2025 CIF State Track and Field Championships. The CIF believes this pilot entry process achieves the participation opportunities and we seek to afford our student-athletes.
At the conclusion of the CIF Section’s Track and Field qualifying meets this past weekend, the CIF made the decision to pilot an entry process for the upcoming 2025 CIF State Track and Field Championships. Please see the following statement: pic.twitter.com/qOjWl6eybR

Except…
CIF will still allow the males who stole first-place spots from those females to compete.
There’s more. I kid you not.
If a male wins an event, CIF will allow the female who missed a spot on the podium to receive a medal.
Guys…I’m shaking my head.
No, CIF. The only problem in this situation is a male competing in the female category.
So if the male wins the event, he still gets the first-place medal.
Only females should be on the podium. The only solution is to ban males from female sports.
Also, stop calling us biological females. We are female. We are the only females.
The changes come after Reese Hogan set social media on fire when she stood on the first-place podium after the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section Finals.
That’s because Hogan won the triple jump…not the male athlete AB Hernandez from Jurupa Valley, who defeated her by four feet.
Hernandez stole the first-place medal from Hogan, who set a personal record and Crean Lutheran High School record with her 37 feet, 2 inches jump.
Hogan and her family spoke to Fox News:
Hogan’s family provided a statement from her to Fox News Digital that read, “The recent CIF rule changes clearly acknowledge a misstep on their part. However, what they’ve proposed falls short of what we truly need for all girls across all sports. I placed second in CIF, and I know that if I hadn’t been competing against a boy, I would have claimed the top spot on the podium.”
“Unfortunately, we can’t revisit that moment to rectify this injustice. This issue transcends a single meet, sport, or individual; it’s fundamentally about the rights of all females to compete fairly among themselves. We deserve that opportunity, and we will continue to advocate for it.”
Hogan has previously told Fox News Digital she finds the situation involving Hernandez “sad.”
“It’s just kind of sad just watching. He’s obviously a really talented athlete, we’ve all seen him jump and stuff, and I wish him the best of luck, but in a boys’ division,” Hogan previously told Fox News Digital about competing against the athlete. “It’s pretty obvious the certain advantages that he has, and it’s obviously just sad as a woman to watch that.”
The DOJ opened an investigation into California over males participating in the female categories.
Does the move violate federal law?
U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said males in female sports violates federal law:
Essayli said biological female athletes’ rights are being violated by including transgender athletes in girls’ sports.
“They’re denying girls those opportunities, and that’s exactly what Title IX was designed to prohibit; to prohibit discrimination based on gender in athletics, and that’s what’s happening today.”
Essayli said the Department of Justice is also submitting a statement of interest in a different case pending in federal court, in which a lawsuit was filed by two students at King High School in Riverside.
Trump signed an executive order protecting female sports and spaces.
Trump’s administration threw out the former President Joe Biden’s administration’s awful rewrite of Title IX, giving males a pass to play in female sports and use female spaces.

everyone gets a trophy
america gets a cancer
Are things like scholarships involved in the rankings? If so, who gets those — or does the sponsor get screwed now to provide duplicate ones?
There will be scholarships given for courage in changing your gender
it will happen
already has
Just wait when a big time school like UCONN, S Carolina , Texas has one of these freaks on a woman’s basketball team!!!
I was never really clear on whether Brittany Griner was a trans or just resembled one. Honest.
How about:
Real biological females get real trophies.
Imaginary females get imaginary trophies.
I am stealing that!
They aren’t female!!
Stop calling them that
It took men in women’s sports to get anybody to notice that there are women’s sports, so look at the bright side.
and not much bright side to that
Caitlin Clark begs to differ. She and a few others have awesome skills worth watching.
No she couldn’t play in the NBA. Not big or fast enough.
My parents are big fans of NCAA Women’s basketball, and between it and the rest of high school and collegiate sports there are millions of fans … you’ve got to be an idiot. A buddy of mine’s daughter made All State in soccer a few years back in her senior year in high school. All State Girls. Arkansas. Even Arkansans know about and respect women in sport!
Any relation to the ‘Devil in the Ozarks’, Grant Hardin, the ex-police chief and killer on the run? It might explain a lot.
A lot of the men in women’s sports are “trans” for sports purposes only. All the rest of the time they are men. The only reason they become “trans” is in order to compete with women so they can “win” a trophy – which otherwise they would be unable to “win”.
Not just win a trophy but maybe get a 1/4 or 1/2 scholarship to a college. For most schools, a half scholarship is over $25K.
the government forces us to accept that everyone is *truly* earning their victories on merit and any speech/thoughts otherwise is reason for that same lefty government to attack you
that is the real sickness behind all of this
try seeing how long you ‘d last at your job if you told someone they only got that promotion due to affirmaction dei
the thought police are large and in charge
I’ve been following some of the elite meets while on the treadmill. In the womens division there is a female (nikki something or other) and this troll is constantly running her mouth off about being trans.
She feels like a male, but when she competes, she’s female, competing with females… never “feeling like a male” when she wants to compete.
WHY? Because she’d place behind sophomore high school males in any competition.
But my beef is- the media gives this C U Next Tuesday the microphone when it comes to this topic as though this mentally disturbed 20-something chick gets to write the policy for all other women. They don’t give the microphone to 10 other women who got on the starting line with her let alone the 100 others who were 20 seconds back and didn’t make the final heat.
HOT AIR highlighted this woman yesterday. In a sane world these mentally divergent imbeciles are never given the microphone. They get marginalized as divergent and the only public policy formed is the decision to have security escort them and their perversions out of the building when serious conversations are taking place.
I swore that guy in the top photo was a Ken doll, at first. Plastic hair.
Yeah. My first thought was who was that guy on the right?
“Above The Law”™ brand spooge!
“Also, stop calling us biological females. We are female. We are the only females.”
That doesn’t bother me nearly as much as “cis”. I find that term extremely offensive and unnecessary.
I wouldn’t even call my sister “cis”.
It’s my granddaughters fav term for her sister
“Sissy”
Use the word “normal” and really piss off the activists.
So, unless I’m missing something, if men win spots 1-8, then eventually women who should have been in those spots also get the medal they would have gotten had the men not been there?
So we’re basically back to men’s and women’s sports, with a men-lite category?
If CIF sits on that fence any harder they’re going to taste strawberries.
The only transwoman I would acknowledge as women are those that go through the surgery. All the surgery. That shows commitment.
NO
A Woman is born, not made by Frankenstein
even in mma
there are very very few women who actually equal the skill levels that males outside of the top 20 have
the top of the top couldnt compete against the males
so where physical smashing/deterioration can and does place you dont see ( other then an attention seeking masochist ) in a rush for trans women wanting to compete
On average women have 50% less upper body strength than men. Lower body strength is less difference, but no woman would ever win medal in olympic track events again.
Here’s a couple of numbers to help make your point.
Women’s world record — 1600 meters = 4:06.20
Montana boys’ high school 1600 meters record = 4:04.87
I Picked Montana because it is a state with a small population that isn’t particularly associated with athletics.
Don’t like Montana
Idaho = 4:09.40
Washington = 3:56.7
Texas = 4:01.0
I always like to point out how Megan Rapinoe’s Olympic team lost to high-school boys.
Black is white day is night. These may be the end times
