Violent protests have descended on a\u00a0California<\/span>\u00a0schoolgirl competition after a teenage trans athlete thrashed her female rivals in defiance of\u00a0Donald Trump<\/span>‘s executive order.<\/p>\n

AB Hernandez, 17, sealed her place in three finals yesterday – high jump, long jump and triple jump – after coming out on top in all of her preliminary heats. This included a triple jump of 41 feet – nearly 10 inches further than her closest rival.<\/p>\n

The dramatic row has sparked fury across the US, with Trump even threatening to hold back ‘large scale Federal Funding’ and blasting the state governor who he claims has continued to ‘ILLEGALLY allow “MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SPORTS”‘.<\/p>\n

Hernansez’s glamorous mother, who has also been\u00a0confronted by angry parents whose daughters are losing out on gold medals, yesterday responded to the dramatic onslaught. She slammed the President’s\u00a0‘weapons of harm’ and saying her daughter had become the ‘target of a national campaign of cruelty’.<\/p>\n

Hernandez has previously faced controversy from her own competitors – with a teenage girl they beat to first place waited for her rival to get down from the top of the podium before posing up there herself.<\/p>\n

And as protesters descended on the California Interscholastic Federation state finals police were dramatically called in – with protesters ‘turning physical’ and even using pepper spray.<\/p>\n

They arrested one alleged LGBTQ activist, who is accused of shattering a car window with a flag pole – as\u00a0Sergeant Chris Hutchison of\u00a0Clovis Police Department said he doesn’t\u00a0‘have room for violence.’<\/p>\n

Videos of the alleged attack show a masked protestor with a trans flag walking up to a car before thrusting it through the window. The person in the car claims that they responded with pepper spray.<\/p>\n

As the girls took to the field, a plane even flew a banner across the high school track-and-field championships stating ‘No boys in girls sports’. While the girl competed she was heckled by gathered activists and others wore ‘Save Girls\u00b4 Sports’ T-shirts.<\/p>\n
