Washington girls' track coach on losing first place status to trans runner: 'Obviously a male running'

Washington high school coach Dean Vergillo described his frustration at his girls’ track and field team losing to a transgender runner at the state meet.

Girls’ track and field coach Dean Vergillo spoke out against his Washington high school team’s state loss against a transgender runner. The Cedarcrest High School coach spoke to the Independent Women’s Forum about his team competing in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association state track and field meet earlier in May. One of his athletes had competed against 17-year-old transgender athlete Veronica Garcia in the 400-meter sprint.

According to Washington Interscholastic Activities Association policy, every athlete will compete in programs 'consistent with their gender identity or the gender most consistently expressed.' However, the association does not require athletes to take part in hormone therapy or use hormone blockers. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
