WASHINGTON (TNND) — A high school in Oregon is once again grabbing headlines after a transgender student far surpassed the competition during the Portland Interscholastic League Championship.
The New York Post on Thursday identified the runner as 16-year-old Ada Gallagher, who is a junior at McDaniel High School.
Gallagher won the 200M and 400M, according to reports. The student also beat personal records for the season in both races.
Footage of the races is circulating on social, showing Gallagher far ahead of the other runners as they rounded a portion of the track.
In one race, Gallagher appears to finish more than seven seconds before the other runners.

People took to social media to express their emotions about Gallagher's wins.
Former college track guy here. To put this into perspective, Gallagher’s times in the 400 and 200, which totally crushed the actual girl runners in a HS varsity meet, would not have placed in top 6 in my 8th grade boys city championship meet. This is cowardly cheatin," one person wrote on X.
