'clearly outclassed' her opponents in a sports competitionA Utah high school dug into a student athlete's records to check if she was transgender after the parents of two students, who both lost to the athlete in a competition, filed a complaint to the state's high school sports association.
The school went as far back as kindergarten to find that the student was always registered as female, David Spatafore, a legislative representative for the Utah High School Activities Association, said during a committee meeting with the state legislature on Wednesday.
The investigation was opened after the student-athlete won first place in a state-level sports competition. According to Spatafore, the student "clearly outclassed the rest of the teams."
Parents of the second- and third-place students then filed a complaint to the Utah High School Activities Association on the day of the outcome.

Oklahoma public schools have started requiring students from kindergarten to college to complete "biological sex affidavits" if they want to compete in school sports, in accordance with a state law that took effect earlier this year.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill in March that bans transgender student athletes in public elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and colleges from competing on the sports teams of their gender identity as opposed to their sex assigned at birth.
A photo of an affidavit required by Woodall Public Schools went viral Wednesday after Erin Matson, executive director of abortion rights group Reproaction, shared it on Twitter.
