Cross Country

The Laramie Plainsmen will vie for a third straight state cross country title, while a first place showdown on the pitch will involve the Wyoming Cowgirls.

There’s conference championship action for two Laramie High School teams, plus key games and matches for University of Wyoming squads.

Only two squads were in competition this past weekend from Laramie’s Olympic sports. Both were on the road.

For the second straight week, there’s a high school sport involved in a culminating event. There’s also one new team that has their first competition.

The post-season is here for a couple of high school teams, while two University of Wyoming teams begin action in the Mountain West Conference.

Team victories from Lady Plainsmen swimming and diving squad and Plainsmen cross country were the most noteworthy from last weekend’s Laramie Olympic Sports.

The local teams from the University of Wyoming and Laramie High School are continuing with their season action over the next week.

Since it's early in the season, it's a busy time for sports teams from Laramie, whether high school or college.

The start of the fall high school sports season is upon us. While football got a jump last week, the five other fall sports began Monday.

For the second straight year, the Laramie Plainsmen are the kings of Wyoming 4A high school cross country. Led by Senior Jonah Henry's win in the 5K race, the Plainsmen captured their second consecutive team crown at the Wyoming State High School Cross Country Championships Saturday in Sheridan.

Senior Garrett Zans and junior Holly Page swept the individual races to help the University of Wyoming men's and women's cross country teams capture both team titles at the Utah Valley Invitational on Friday at Lakeside Park. The last time Wyoming won both the men's and women's race at one meet was Mark Korir and Emily Higgins at the 2008 Montana State Invitational.
