• Dammeyer, Shatto crush personal-bests as Cats prowl at Worland XC Invitational (douglas-budget.com) — Douglas High School cross country runners turned a tougher schedule into strong results at the Worland Invitational, with the Bearcat boys placing fourth against larger schools. Local standouts like senior Bodey Kejr continue to drop times, and the team's tighter pack running could pay off in upcoming meets that Douglas fans will be watching closely.
   

• RMP abandons pumped storage hydro proposal for Box Elder (douglas-budget.com) — A major pumped storage hydro project near Box Elder Canyon, just west of Ayres Natural Bridge between Douglas and Glenrock, has been dropped by PacifiCorp. That means no new holding pond or hydro plant near these popular parks, easing concerns for locals who value the canyon's recreation, scenery, and campground access from Douglas.
