Lander Strikers (competitive traveling soccer) hosted an inaugural Lander Invitational youth soccer tournament this past weekend. Fields at four locations around town were at capacity with 58 teams (ages 6 – 19) from around the state vying honors.
Hotels reported being sold out in Lander, and the spillover had visitors staying in Riverton and driving over daily for matches.
