AZUSA >> The Azusa High School girls softball team will include the state’s first transgender student-athlete, district officials said Thursday.

A senior, Pat Cordova-Goff, 17, is a member of the school’s cheer squad and played on the school’s baseball team as a freshman.

“We feel really confident about her ability,” Azusa Unified Superintendent Linda Kaminski said. “No.  1 as a district, we want to ensure access to everyone, but we’re also committed to placing students on the team on their merits  ... Based on her skills, Pat did make the team.”
