It was a smaller field at this year’s Lander Invitational, held at the Lander Golf Course over the weekend. Only Lander fielded full teams in both the boys and girls divisions with Wyoming Indian competing with a varsity boys team and Green River a varsity girls squad.
Individual runners from Riverton, Wind River and St. Stephen’s rounded out the Fremont County competition.
The Tigers swept the boys event with Diego Lobatos winning easily by 44 seconds over second place teammate Reed McFadden. Lander’s Gage Gose was third and Mack White fourth to complete a Tiger sweep of the top four positions.
On the girls side, Amya Eddy continues to recover from a leg injury and ran a great race winning by over a minute over second place teammate Blue Blackburn.
