17-year-old VerΓ³nica Garcia won the 2A 400m title in Washington for the second year in a row, facing jeers from a man wearing a “Save Women’s Sports” shirt during the event.

After her 55.70-second win, Garcia held a sign reading β€œReal Girls 2A 400m Champion” and told The Seattle Times: β€œIt made me angry, but I used it to push harder. I’m proud of what I did.”

She criticized hecklers, saying, β€œIt’s a shame they don’t have anything better to do.”

Runner-up Lauren Matthew, finishing one second behind, misgendered Garcia in her post-race comments, sparking further controversy.
