The tradition seen so far this year of the high school track team setting multiple personal records continued at their triangular with Ten Sleep at Worland on Thursday, April 18. There was also the added bonus of seeing the first athletes pre-qualify for state competition, as Olivia Weyer hit a first place height of 9’3” in the pole vault and the boys sprint medley team of Blake Williams, Jesse Skelton, Wyatt McDermott and Kolby George finished second with a time of 3:49,74.

The students competed hard and went beyond expectation again, Deromedi said, noting Roedy Farrell broke the eighth grade boys 100 meter rec...

Recently, posts have appeared online regarding racing in Wind River Canyon. Sheriff Jeremie Kraushaar noted there have been people through the years who have attempted to swerve between the line in the passing lines, but he’s not sure if the post regarding racing is legitimate or simply meant to get a rise out of people. Though he wouldn’t necessarily call it racing, Kraushaar acknowledged there are instances of driving unsafe and driving at high speeds. A lot of the time, he said, people hav...

When I turned on the news the other day and one of the top stories was the fire at Notre Dame cathedral, it hit me harder than I think it would’ve in my younger years. As time has gone on, I’ve found myself gaining more and more appreciation for the old styles of architecture. The spires, gargoyles, turrets and castles popular all over Europe are my favorite, so seeing those same structures in flames was devastating. But the cathedral means much more to me than just some fancy structure. Ten yea...
Though the Hot Springs County High School track team was scheduled for back-to-back meets at Glenrock April 12 and Riverton April 13, the former was cancelled due to weather. Coach Aimee Kay noted the weather was nicer than anticipated in Riverton, not warm but also not windy. Having only one meet was a bit of a bummer, Kay said, because it was divided up to where the students would have had more variety with two days. There were still plenty of personal records, and a few are coming close to...
