May 30, 2025 — The Annual 105th California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) State Track and Field Championships took place Friday and Saturday at Veterans Memorial Stadium at Buchanan High School. They’ve hosted the CIF State Track and Field Championships since 2009. Buchanan head coach Brian Weaver will serve as the state tournament director.

Close to 80 athletes from Clovis Unified are qualified to compete this weekend. The meet has faced controversy as Jurupa Valley High School junior, AB Hernandez, who’s set to compete in the long jump and triple jump, is a transgender athlete. President Donald Trump and his administration have made threats of withdrawing federal funding for the event and going as far to have local law enforcement intervene to prevent her from competing.

On Wednesday, May 28, CIF made new rules where athletes assigned female at birth will
receive medals based on where they would have finished if a transgender athlete had not
competed in the same event − calling it an entry process; The meet will go on as planned.

Here’s a list of all the Clovis Unified athletes that’ll be competing.
