I think the bolded parts may be problematic in conjunction, though I'm not privy to either player's personal gender. What should be done here? Is there a better way to word the "female record" clause, or would it be best just to remove it? | I think the bolded parts may be problematic in conjunction, though I'm not privy to either player's personal gender.

"Melissa McCush's 117 tossups throughout the day was the second most by any individual to date and set the record for most tossups answered correctly by a female at the state championship in any class, also becoming the first female in tournament history to answer more than 50 tossups correctly. This also set the Class 3 record, which was previously 99 by Sean Phillips of Boonville in 2000. This total remained the Class 3 record until Sophie Lockwood of Hallsville correctly answered 136 tossups in 2018."
I think the bolded parts may be problematic in conjunction, though I'm not privy to either player's personal gender. What should be done here? Is there a better way to word the "female record" clause, or would it be best just to remove it?
