In a May 22, 2012 photo, Aly Marzonie, right, and Rachel Shellenback, second from right, team captains of the New Trier High School girls' soccer team, kick a ball with teammates as they prepare for a game in the Illinois High School Association girls' soccer tournament in Skokie, Ill. Girls like those on the New Trier soccer team are reaping the benefits of Title IX, the federal amendment that opened up sports opportunities to girls and women 40 years ago. But some say there's still more progress to be made for girls in sports.

Mack Beggs of Euless Trinity, a transgender senior, defeated Chelsea Sanchez of Morton Ranch to defend his Class 6A girls 110-pound title during the UIL State Wrestling Championships at the Berry Center on Saturday in Cypress, Texas. Beggs, who was born female, was not allowed to enter the boys' tournament because the rules for Texas public high schools require athletes to compete under the gender on their birth certificate. So, for the last two years, Beggs' very role in the tournaments has stirred debate about what transgender students are allowed to do in sport. (Jason Fochtman /Houston Chronicle via AP)
