Just a couple of days after a transgender middle school student won an appeals court ruling to allow her to compete on the track team, several athletes from a rival team stepped into the shot put against her and then stepped back out, declining to participate.

 

The situation unfolded at the Harrison County Championships for middle schools on Thursday. OutKick, an outlet that covers sports from a conservative perspective, broke the story nationally with an article that included video of middle schoolers with their faces blurred stepping out of the shot put competition.
