<p>The same trans-identifying male high schooler who dominated last year&#8217;s girls’ Washington state track high school championship did it again over the weekend.</p>
<p>Verónica Garcia, 17, snagged his second state title in two years when he won the girls&#8217; 2A 400-meter race on Saturday.</p>
<p>In video of the race, Garcia can be seen crossing the finish line with a healthy lead over the second place runner.</p>
<p>Garcia, who runs on the girls&#8217; team at East Valley High School, won the same race last year with a record-smashing time of 55.59, close to his time this year, 55.75.</p>

<p>Garcia was heckled and booed by the crowd both before and after the race.</p>
<p>One man wearing a shirt that read &#8220;Save women&#8217;s sports&#8221; <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/high-school/wa-transgender-athlete-veronica-garcia-repeats-as-state-track-champion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> shouted “Let’s go girls!” and “girls’ race!”</p>
<p>The crowd also reportedly cheered for every female runner during the medal ceremony, but booed when Garcia was announced as the winner.</p>

<p>After the race, Garcia lashed out at his critics, saying said the heckling made him &#8220;angry&#8221; and want to win even more.</p>
<p>“I’ll be honest, I kind of expect it,” Garcia <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/high-school/wa-transgender-athlete-veronica-garcia-repeats-as-state-track-champion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Seattle Times. “But it maybe didn’t have their intended effect. It made me angry, but not angry as in, I wanted to give up, but angry as in, I’m going to push.&#8221;</p>
<p>“I’m going to put this in the most PG-13 way, I’m just going to say it’s a damn shame they don’t have anything else better to do. I hope they get a life. But oh well. It just shows who they are as people.”</p>
<p>He previously placed near the bottom when he ran for the boys&#8217; team several years ago. In October 2022, Garcia ran in the boys’ 5,000-meter junior varsity race and <a href="https://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/meet/209254/results/874400" target="_blank" rel="noopener">placed</a> 164th out of 172.</p>
<p>Riley Gaines, the former University of Kentucky swimmer whose 2022 loss to trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas helped ignite the battle to keep men out of women’s sports, praised the girl who placed second behind Garcia on Saturday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Congratulations to Lauren Matthew, the real Washington State Champion in the girls&#8217; 400m,&#8221; Gaines posted on X.</p>
<p>In another post, Matthew appeared holding a sign that read “Washington State Track and Field Real Girls 2A 400m Champion.”</p>
<p>In 2007, Washington state became the first state to pass legislation allowing trans-identifying males to participate in women&#8217;s sports. However, state law now conflicts with President Donald Trump&#8217;s executive order banning federal funds for schools that allow males in girls&#8217; sports.</p>
<p>The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, which governs high school sports in the state, still allows trans-identifying students to compete on the team of the opposite sex.</p>
<p>In December, a group of 14 school districts proposed changing the policy to keep males off female teams, but ultimately, no action was taken.</p>
