The Cody boys and girls swept the team titles at the Worland Invitational Cross Country meet held at the Green Hill Golf Course.
It wasn’t quite the dramatic start that Wyoming Indian has with a horse and rider leading the runners in each division over the first few hundred yards of the course, but the Green Hills Course provided a golf cart to lead the runners out of the starting blocks.
The Broncs and Fillies swept the individual events as well with Charlie Hulbert winning the boy’s race in 16:41.26 and Taylen Stinson the girl’s event in 19:29.31.
Lander was well represented with three runners in the top 10 in the two venues.
On the boy’s side, Diego Lobatos continued a strong season placing third with a time of 17:03.98. Ameya Eddy was second for the girls in 19:55.32, and Blue Blackburn sixth in 20:39.65.
