## Resource

The 2026 West Virginia State Track & Field Championships were this past weekend. In girls shot put, a thrower who was born a boy was declared the winner. Republican Senator Laura Chapman says her Democrat opponent has supported allowing biological boys to compete in girls athletics. She believes more should've been done to prevent what has happened. The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the issue in January and is expected to give a ruling next month. But that will be too late for the female competitors in this year's state meet.
