A Massachusetts high school has been criticized for allowing a transgender girl athlete to help win the state track and field championship last month – amid the heated debate over trans athletes in sport.
Chloe Barnes helped Brookline High School to the state’s Interscholastic Athletics Association Division 1 Indoor Track and Field Championships over three other schools after competing in the Girls 55m hurdles.
Her fourth-placed finish in the race – behind a Brookline teammate – helped her school get the points necessary to win the title.
