Ashlee Thomas+FollowFan Heckles Olympian for Betting Win?!A dude bragged online about heckling Gabby Thomas at a Philly track meet just to cash in on his FanDuel bets—and even posted the receipts. He taunted her during the race, claimed it helped his parlay hit, and then gloated all over social. Now Grand Slam Track is investigating, promising to crack down on this kind of wild fan behavior. Seriously, sports betting is getting out of hand when fans are harassing athletes IRL for their own gain. #TrackAndField #SportsBetting #GabbyThomas #Finance90Share

Critics are calling for the WIAA to revoke her title, arguing it’s unfair for a transgender athlete to compete in girls’ events. Meanwhile, others say Garcia’s victory is a win for inclusion. Where do you stand on this rivalry? Should Lauren Matthew be recognized as the true champ? #TrackAndField #GirlsSports #TransAthletes #Sports91Share
Jacob Morris+FollowA.B. Hernandez Shares Podium Amid ProtestsBig weekend at the California track finals: SoCal junior A.B. Hernandez, a rising star in girls’ field events, took gold in both high jump and triple jump, plus silver in long jump. But the real drama? Her wins came as protests and political threats swirled over her being a trans athlete. The CIF’s new rule let more cis girls compete, so A.B. shared her top spots. Despite the noise, most athletes and coaches just want the focus back on the competition. Thoughts on how the CIF handled this? #TrackAndField #TransAthletes #CaliforniaSports #Sports263057Share
