A transgender-identifying boy snagged first place in a Maine high school girls’ pole vaulting competition on Monday, just days after the state’s governing body for school sports rejected President Donald Trump’s executive order barring males from playing on female sports teams.

Laurel Libby (R), who drew attention to the incident on social media.
