ROCK SPRINGS – As the regional snowmelt accelerates and Spring Break passes into the rearview mirror, Pinedale High School was able to field its entire girls’ and boys’ outdoor track team at the Ted Schroeder Meet of Hope in Rock Springs on Saturday, April 15.

The Lady Wranglers bagged fourth place out of 10 teams, posting 88 points. The Wrangler boys’ picked up eighth place with 34 points.

“We were finally able to get our entire team to a track meet,” said Head Coach Kyle Sullivan. “We were happy to have a sunny, yet chilly, day in Rock Springs. We had 16 athletes achieve at least one personal best performance, which was over a third of the team. That was a great accomplishment for the team last weekend. This is an exciting way for many kids to start the season, and we will look to carry that momentum forward.”
