Transgender Runner Beats High School Girls to Win State Title … Then the Crowd Turns on Him
… At a women’s state championship on Saturday in Eugene, Oregon, the audience clearly felt the injustice of a male runner winning a race specifically meant for women.
Aayden Gallagher, a transgender athlete, won the Girls’ 6A 200-meter state championship on Saturday, but the audience wasn’t happy with the result, booing and jeering as he crossed the finish line, according to Fox News.
Gallagher, a sophomore, crossed the finish line first with a time of 24.29 seconds, two-tenths of a second ahead of the runner-up.
The booing continued as Gallagher was presented with the state title on the podium at the meet held at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field in Eugene.

If someone “wins” a sports competition because they have an unfair advantage, that is cheating. So rather than cheers, booing any title holder who is a fraud would be more appropriate.
A male high school senior was booed after he was named the Oregon Girls’ 6A 200-meter state champion because that is what he deserved.
According to the New York Post:
Aayden Gallagher, of McDaniel High School, won the state title by two-tenths of a second. Gallagher was also booed while crossing the finish line of the race.
Gallagher also had the best time of the preliminary heats in the event.
The sophomore also ran the fastest 400-meter prelim, but lost the final of the 400-meter by 0.15 of a second.
