Veronica Ewers, a 2012 Moscow High alum, has returned to her hometown after withdrawing from the UCI Women’s World Tour in late 2025 due to Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). She is now studying for a master’s degree in kinesiology at the University of Idaho and has been hired as assistant coach for the Moscow Bears girls soccer team, the program she played for in high school.

Ewers, who earned a third-place finish in the 2021 USA Cycling Pro Road National Championship, said she is keeping the door open for a potential return to cycling when her health allows. She recently attended a cycling camp in Boulder, Colorado, and noted her mental health has improved, allowing her to balance performance and health.

The Pac-12 and Mountain West conferences finalized a settlement over a $55 million exit fee dispute, resolving litigation that began in 2024. The settlement includes Boise State, Colorado State, Utah State, San Diego State, and Fresno State. The agreement resolves a clause in a scheduling agreement that required payments to the Mountain West for schools leaving the Pac-12.
