The California High School Sports League has made a major change in its next athletics state championship for girls for the second consecutive day.
The changes occur while the state faces increasing pressure, both internally of its own residents and the administration of President Donald Trump, due to increasing controversy involving a trans athlete.
On Wednesday, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) announced that the meeting of the title of Saturday of Saturday will now extend its basin of competitors and even the recipients of medals to accommodate all the female athletes displaced by a biological male competitor.

The CIF specifically makes this change of rule for long jump, high jump and triple jump events.
“Friday, May 30, if necessary, in the high jump, triple jump and leap qualification events at the CIF 2025 state athletics championships, a student-organic student who would have won the next qualification brand will also be put forward in the final,” said CIF’s announcement.
“In addition, if necessary, in the high jump, the events with triple jump and the long jump to the athletics championships of the CIF of State 2025, a student organic athlete who would have obtained a specific placement on the podium will also be awarded the medal for this place and the results will be reflected in the recording of the event.”
The CIF athletic athletics eliminatory series were shaken by national controversy involving the Trans and Ab Hernandez athlete of Jurupa Valley high school in these events and regularly dominating female competition. The athlete has taken first place in long jump and triple jump during a section final and a state qualification round in the past two weeks.
The last change of the CIF comes just one day after the Federation has widened the size of its competitors’ basin.
“Any organic student-athlete who would have won the next qualification brand for one of the automatic qualification entries in their section in the meeting of the CIF state, and did not reach the state mark of the CIF State in the final during their section section, was extended to participate in the 2025 CIF athletics championships,” the CIF said on Tuesday.

The change on Wednesday also comes a day after the family of a competitor who was to face Hernandez in the championship told PK Press Club Digital that they thought that the CIF expanding the competitors’ swimming pool was sufficient.
The “ solution ” of CIF to this situation, which allows additional girls to compete in the State championship which, otherwise, did not qualify because the transgender athlete has taken its place, is not good enough – it is always an unjust competition and an injustice for girls in competition, “said the family of the star of the girl’s tracks of Canada, Katie McGuinness.
“Allowing biological men to compete in female sports is unfair, unfair and defies common sense,” added the family.
The controversy involving Hernandez caused local, state and national indignation by families and activists, while President Donald Trump showed that he was willing to sanction the state about the situation.
Trump sent a post on Tuesday morning warning California and Governor Gavin Newsom of potential federal financing cuts to the state, and even the order to send local authorities to prevent a Trans athlete from participating in the girls category on Saturday.
Trump did not specifically appoint the athlete or the school to which he was referring to the position of social media.

But on Wednesday, the United States Ministry of Justice announced that it would launch an investigation into the CIF and the California prosecutor Rob Bonta on the law of the State which allows trans biologically male athletes to compete with girls and women.
A letter of complaint information from the survey was sent to secondary school Jurupa Valley, DOJ told PK Press Club Digital. Jurupa Unified School District (Jusd) told PK Press Club Digital that he had not received a letter.
The announcement of the DOJ lists the school district in the official announcement of the investigation.
Jusd has already defended leaving him Hernandez compete in the girls’ category.
“Jusd continues to follow both the Californian law policy and the CIF policy concerning school athletics. The law of the state and the CIF policy currently requires that students be authorized to participate in sports teams and in competitions in accordance with their gender identity, regardless of the protection of the rights and the security of the students we serve, in accordance with an examination of the Fox with applicable digital and federal laws” declared the district in the context of the previous declaration.
Other competitors have spoken out throughout the athletics eliminatory series against the CIF and the State for allowing the situation to progress to this point.
Hernandez’s second finisher in triple jump during a section final on May 17, Reese Hogan by Crean Lutheran High School, made a duty to stand in the first place of podium for a quick and symbolic photo shoot. Hogan images taking the best podium after the Trans athlete has become viral on social networks this weekend.
“It’s just a little sad to look. He is obviously a really talented athlete, we have all seen him jump and everything, and I wish him the best chance, but in a boys’ division,” previously told PK Press Club Digital about the competition against the athlete. “It is quite obvious that certain advantages he has, and it is obviously just sad as a woman to look at that.”
Brea Olinda student Julia Teven was one of the rare female athletes to have beaten Jurupa Valley’s athlete this year, tied for first place in the high jump to the preliminary cup earlier this month, while the Trans athlete finished eighth.
“I really believe that he does not have a harmful intention for the sports of girls. I think it is the kind of like, CIF allowing him to somehow put him in his position,” said Teven. “I think it really, it is fair, like the CIF, and it only takes advantage of its opportunity.”
