SW#5 Rock Springs flexed its considerable muscles to score
an overwhelming win in the 4A Wyoming State Meet Saturday in Cheyenne
and share the spotlight with a very young Glenrock team that eked out
a two-point victory in 3A.
Campbell County High School won 4A, Douglas 3A, and Rocky Mountain 2A
in girls competition and Wyoming Indian High School won boys 2A. The
2A team championships are decided by scoring only the top four runners.
Rock Springs dominated the boys 4A by taking places 1-2-4-5-8, winning
with a score of 20, followed by Campbell County at 72 and Cheyenne Central
with 86. Zac Reiter (16:09), Greg
Griffith (16:15), Will Miller (16:39),
Dustin Gibson (16:49), and Will
Parker (17:03) brought home Rock Springs
with a 54-second gap among its top five.
Glenrock team got clutch performances from three freshmen to beat Douglas,
70-72, in 3A boys competition. Both teams had 25 points from their first
three runners when Josh Humphries of Douglas
put his team ahead by taking 17th. But frosh Dillon
Woodin (21st/18:57) and Casey
Reeves (24th.19:11)
got in before Douglas's fifth man to seal the win. Freshman Devin
Collins was top man for Glenrock, taking third in 17:37.
Next came senior Chance
Hiser (7th/18:02), followed by sophomore Nick
Allington (15th/18:27).
Seventh man Rick Alexander is also a freshman. Toby
Patterson, a Douglas junior, was the individual winner in 17:32,
barely holding off Trevor Ricks of Star
Valley who finished in the same time.
Riley Tall Whiteman and Terrance
Posey took 1-2 to pace Wyoming Indian
High School to the 2A crown. They ran 17:38 and 17:40. Mike
Friday (11th/19:05)
and Leland Hill (12th/19:12) completed the win. Wyoming Indian beat Saratoga,
24-30. Scoring a fifth runner would have given Saratoga a one-point win.
Ashlen Nimmo of Rock Springs was a 33-second winner in girls 4A over
Victoria Crockett of Cheyenne Central in 19:16. Trisha
Evenson was Campbell
County's first finisher in 5th (19:57), but she was closely followed
by Megan Gebhart (6th/20:02), Ashleigh
Anderson (11th/20:25), Sarah Gross (13th/20:28), and Sage
Goddard (15th/20:37), giving Campbell County a
40-second gap between its first and fifth runners and a winning score
of 48. Rock Springs followed with 71, three points ahead of Cheyenne
Central.
