The Thermopolis girls and the combined team of Rocky Mountain and Burlington boys won the Five Rivers Conference Cross Country meet at Lovell last weekend.
The Wyoming Indian boys tied with Lovell for second place with 48 points, but by rule, the fifth runner’s points are added to the four scoring runners and the Bulldogs were named second, and the Chiefs third.
Wyoming Indian’s Colton SunRhodes and Keiron McCorley were fifth and eighth place respectively, with both earning all-conference honors.
Wind River’s Faye Hellyer ran a strong third for the Cougars with teammate Cora Remacle fifth, but Wind River didn’t have enough girls to score as a team.
For the Lady Chiefs, Roberta Whiteplume finished eighth, and Camellia Brown 10th to earn all-conference honors.
St. Stephen’s Nehemiah Divers finished fourth individually, but the Eagles didn’t have enough runners for a team entry.
The state meet is next Saturday at Ethete for the second straight year. The event was magnificent a year ago, and reports are that the Chiefs will meet or exceed the event next weekend.
