PhotoFest! 3A Boys State Cross Country
The Worland boys cross country team had a day to remember on Saturday in Cheyenne as they captured their first team State Championship and also produced an individual champion for the first time since 1991. The Warriors placed 3 guys in the top 7 led by Trajn Swalstad who capped his amazing senior season with a convincing victory. He covered the Little America course in 16:07.99 and finally made it to the top of the mountain after finishing 2nd last year. His teammate, Will Bishop who finished 14th last year vaulted up to #4 and that gave the Worland a huge lift as they edged Buffalo for 1st place, 41-42.
Buffalo had 2 guys in the top 3 as Zach Freise took 2nd in 16:32.01 and Ethan Rayo was 3rd in 16:46.37. A year ago, Freise took 7th at the State Cross Country Meet and Rayo made some serious progress this year after finishing 18th in 2023.
Mountain View was 3rd in the 3A team standings with Lander 4th and Powell 5th. Have a look at our batch of photos from the 3A State Cross Country Meet. They can be found in our gallery below.
