Martina Navratilova: 'women’s sports are not a place for failed male athletes.'
Kearsarge Regional High School sophomore Maelle Jacques, a biological male, took first place in the girls high jump competition on Sunday, beating every female in the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association indoor track and field championship.
The NHIAA did not respond to NHJournal’s request for comment last week. The non-profit group that oversees high school sports allows athletes to compete in whatever gender division they choose.Being a boy, Maelle has gone through boy puberty and is noticeably taller and stronger than the girls that he now runs against in track. He ran a 5:26 mile at the State Championships, which wouldn’t have even qualified for the meet if he ran as what he really is – a boy.
