Aayden Gallagher will compete in the varsity finals today at Lincoln High School. If she places top two in any event, she moves on to Oregon State ChampionshipsA transgender high school runner is set to compete in the girls' varsity track and field championship today after having left the other female competitors in the dust during the semi-finals.
Gallagher's eligibility to compete in the girls league has sparked outrage in recent weeks, with former NCAA swimming championship Riley Gaines among those to publicly criticize the Oregon School Activities Association , which regulates high school athletics in the state, and its policies. She placed second in the 200m contest, finishing in 24.49 seconds. She was beat out by Roosevelt High School sophomore Aster Jones who finished the dash in 24.32 seconds.
Gallagher competed in several other events throughout the day, finishing in consistently high positions at the event in Sherwood, Oregon. Gallagher revealed in an interview with her high school newspaper last year that she will be pursuing hormone replacement therapy. April Hutchinson , a powerlifter on Team Canada, slammed the teen as a 'liar' and 'a prime example of a male cheat'

Gallagher was met with fury online after cruising to victory seconds before most of her other competitors during the Sherwood Need for Speed Classic last month
