Camas High School girls walk off cross-country race to protest transgender runner
About a dozen girls from Camas High School's cross-country team walked off a race on October 14, 2026, rather than compete against a runner who transferred from the boys' team to the girls' team during the season. The walkout occurred at a meet against Battle Ground High School at the Underwriters Lab campus in Washington state. The protest followed a similar walkout by two Skyview High School runners on September 15.
