Daily Caller: High school girls in Alaska are crying foul after a male
sprinter took home all-state honors in girls’ track and field. According
to local reports, it was the first time in Alaskan history that a male
athlete competed in the girls’ state championships.
Haines senior Nattaphon Wangyot advanced to the state finals in the
100-meter and 200-meter events. He won fifth place in the 100-meter dash
and third place in the 200-meter. In both events, he competed against
girls as young as ninth grade.
One of the girls Wangyot beat out for a slot at the state meet,
Hutchison runner Emma Daniels, took issue with allowing a male athlete
to compete in girls events.
“I’m glad that this person is comfortable with who they are and
they’re able to be happy in who they are, but I don’t think it’s
competitively completely 100-percent fair,” she told a local CBS
station.
Running just 13.36 and 27.30, she runs like a girl. There needs to be a gender testing standard, there isn't one in HS athletics. It is unclear if this person is really 'transgender.' If she has had the surgery, and has had been tested for appropriate hormonal levels, let her run... otherwise, no.
ReplyDeleteI don't care about the boy/girl's level of competition. Take that out of the mix. What I said, is still very true. They are stronger/faster than the wannabee a real woman.
DeleteThis one isn't very fast... but Castor Semenya is a possible Gold in Rio in the 800m. Now that's an interesting case.
Delete"interesting case" How so? You know she was given a gender test and, as it turns out, she is just a really fast tom-boy.
