A transgender high school track star in California recently obliterated her competition by winning a girls’ triple jump event by a staggering eight feet.
AB Hernandez, a junior at Jurupa Valley High School, secured the win with a more than 40-foot jump at the Ontario Relays invitational meet back on Feb. 22, records show.
The runner-up managed to jump just over 32 feet in the category.
Hernandez also took first place at the meet in the high jump (4 feet, 10 inches) and long jump (17 feet, 6 inches) events.
She continued her winning streak this past Saturday when she took home first place in both the triple jump and long jump events at the Roosevelt Invitational, according to records.
The teen finished nearly three feet ahead of the triple jump runner-up and two feet ahead of her second-place long jump competitor, the results show.
“Hopefully, I hit a 41 [footer] this year if it’s possible. Preferably at state so that I can possibly win,” Hernandez said late last month after her 40-foot triple jump.
