Eckard, in fourth place, and Anderson, in third, everyone finished in front of the trans athlete, who equaled fifth place. But the two women faced the opposite management while the other competitors received their medals from civil servants.
The images then showed an official face the two young women and make a gesture so that they are moving away. Eckard and Anderson were then seen moving away from the podium and standing on the side.
PK Press Club Digital contacted Oregon School Activities Association for an answer.

“We have not refused to stay on the podium by hatred. We did it because someone has to say that it is not good. In order to protect the integrity and equity of the sports of girls, we must defend what is good,” said Anderson in a statement to PK Press Club Digital.
Girls and women who make symbolic gestures to protest the inclusion trans in sports have become an increasing trend in 2025.
On May 17 during a final of athletics section in California, Reese Hogan of Crean Lutheran High School left second place on the podium of first place after his trans opponent, Ab Hernandez left. Hogan was greeted on social networks by sheaths and others.
On April 2, images of the female female Stephanie Turner on his knees to protest a trans opponent during a competition in Maryland, and subsequently punished for this, became viral and triggered awareness and meticulous examination against fencing in the United States.
Oregon is one of the many states controlled by the Democrats that have seen transgender athletes participating in the girls’ athletics championships this weekend, with other highly publicized incidents in California, Washington, Maine and Minnesota.
The America First Policy Institute (AFPI), a non -partisan research institute, has filed a defendant in title IX against Oregon for its laws which allow biological men to compete with girls sports on May 27.
The complaint was filed with the civil rights office of the United States Ministry of Education, which has already launched investigations into title IX against high school leagues in California, Minnesota, Maine and Massachusetts.

“Each girl deserves a fair blow – on the field, on the podium and in life,” said Jessica Hart Steinmann, AFPI -executive lawyer and vice -president of the Center for Litigation, in a press release.
“When state institutions knowingly oblige young women to compete with biological men, they violate federal law and send a devastating message to female athletes across the country.”
President Donald Trump signed the decree of the executive of “men away from female sports” on February 5 and his administration made the fight against the continuous activation of trans athletes in the sports of the Democratic States a priority.
The United States Ministry of Justice has already launched legal action against Maine for his contempt for the executive order of Trump, and the president suggested on Tuesday that federal funding breaks could arrive against California in the middle of the situation involving Hernandez.
