Two female athletes at Washington High School are asking the Trump administration to stop men from competing with them during their track season.
Soleil Hoefer, a senior at Prosser High School, and Kora Lengerich, a freshman at Gonzaga Preparatory School, urged the Ministry of Education (ED) Office (OCR) to investigate policies that “violate girls’ rights” by robbing them of equal opportunities for athletic participation and victory.
The current Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) policy allows athletes to participate in events that are “matched with gender identity” despite President Donald Trump’s February 5th executive. order About “Take men away from women’s sports.”
The male athletes who won last year’s Women’s State Championship in the 400-meter race last year have continued to dominate the division, the complaint said.
“Korah already has lost the podium to this athlete and Soleil will have to run against the athlete soon,” the complaint states. “It is fundamentally unfair that despite all their hard work and discipline, Soleil and Kora could be deprived of the thrill of victory. As Washington forces them to compete with men with inherent biological benefits, Soleil and Kora encourage them to step in to prevent violations of this federal law and protect the rights of women and girls.”
