AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley and Kira Gant Hatcher of St. Mary’s-Berkeley stood atop the podium at California’s state track and field championship finals Saturday evening.

Olympians Marion Jones and Tara Davis-Woodhall previously set state championship records in the long jump in 1993 and 2017, respectively, both surpassing 22 feet (6.7 meters). This year’s winner, Loren Webster, topped 21 feet (6.40 meters), with Hernandez trailing by a few inches.

A transgender athlete's first-place finishes in the girls' high and triple jump championship events on Saturday ignited a firestorm of debate, coinciding with President Donald Trump's threats to cut federal funding to California over its policies on transgender athletes in women's sports.
