Camas High Cross-Country Controversy Escalates as Parents Protest Midseason Gender Switch

A cross-country runner at Camas High School in Washington switched from the boys' team to the girls' team midseason, sparking intense local and national debate. The move, permitted under state rules, led to public protests by opposing athletes and parents, including a criminal trespass notice for one father. The controversy has intensified support for Initiative 638, a ballot measure set for November 3 that would ban biological males from competing in K-12 girls' sports.

Gas receipts reveal rising costs on two cross-country road trips

Two sisters drove coast-to-coast on two road trips (2023 and 2026), logging mileage and fuel costs. The 2023 trip cost $578.99; the 2026 trip—nearly 4,964 miles—cost $642.38, highlighting how surging gas prices shaped budgeting across 16 states. National regular gas averaged about $4.14 per gallon and diesel about $5.85 during the trip, with California prices around $6/gal and other stops varying widely; anecdotes from gas stations underscore the day-to-day impact of higher fuel costs. The piece also notes that had they traveled earlier in geopolitically volatile times, costs could have been roughly $200–$300 cheaper, illustrating fuel-price volatility and its effect on long road trips.

Indiana trio tied to cross-country cemetery-niche thefts

Indiana residents Drake Lee Milam (33), Angela Christine Garrett (52) and Porsche Roschell Bancroft (32) were arrested for breaking into mausoleum niches containing cremated remains and stealing jewelry across the eastern United States. Florida officials say at least 20 cases have been identified in the state, with items like wedding rings and other mementos taken. The trio allegedly traveled through multiple states before Milam and Garrett were arrested and Bancroft surrendered in Florida; they face charges including injuring or removing a tomb, disturbing the contents of a grave, and grand theft over $20,000, with extradition to Florida planned for the two suspects. Authorities urge families to check interred loved ones’ niches for missing items."

Epic 9 Sets Sights on XC's Lightest Full-Suspension Frame

Specialized says the Epic 9 is the lightest full-suspension XC race frame at about 1,589g for a medium, with a 110g lighter front triangle and no internal frame storage. It features an 11% reduction in suspension friction thanks to a new top-tube mounted link driving the shock, 120mm travel, and a three-position damper, while geometry remains largely unchanged from the Epic 8. The bike aims for peak efficiency across kinematics, damping and chassis, with top builds around 8.66kg claimed; pricing isn’t disclosed and there’s no XS size option.

Footsteps of Peace: Buddhist Monks Trek 2,300 Miles to D.C.

A group of about two dozen Buddhist monks is walking roughly 2,300 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. on a Walk for Peace led by Bhikkhu Pannakara, visiting state capitals to spread a message of peace with no political agenda. The pilgrimage, backed by a large social media following, has drawn everyday supporters and Christian protesters, and has faced challenges including a Texas car crash that injured two monks; they expect to arrive in Washington, D.C. around Feb. 10, 2026, possibly meeting with lawmakers as part of their mindfulness-focused journey.
