Track season opens

And, just like that, it’s track season! Hopefully, that means Mother Nature is finished with the cold and snow. Being as this is Wyoming, however, we know better than to hold our breath on that subject.

The Bobcat track teams opened their season in Pavillion last Saturday with both the Bobcats and Lady Cats setting the scene for a great season to come. Twelve schools were in competition at the Wind River Icebreaker, competing in seventeen events for the boys teams, and the same number of events for the girls teams.
