Veronica Garcia, a transgender athlete, wins the 400-meter state title, and Tumwater High School students protest after the controversial victory.

Garcia, 17, won the Class 2A 400-meter dash by nearly a second at Mount Tahoma High School on Saturday — a year after becoming the state’s first trans athlete to win a state title.

Kennewick School Board officials Gabe Galbraith and Micah Valentine criticized state education chief Chris Reykdal for defying Trump's executive order on trans athletes.
