A male high school student took 10th place in the girls’ high jump in a recent national indoor track meet in Boston, continuing a streak of elbowing out female athletes from placing in the event.
Lizzy Cohen Bidwell, a Connecticut resident whose name at birth was Lucas, qualified for the national meet by taking first in the girls’ high jump in the regional competition.
Bidwell, a high school junior from West Hartford, Connecticut, competed as one of six female runners representing the state March 10 in the high jump at the New Balance Nationals Indoor meet.
