2024 Wyoming High School Cross Country Conference Championships

Cross-country teams in the state will compete at the conference championships in Wyoming this week. There are six races at six different locations over two days. The 2A East or Powder River conference switched its venue to The Golf Club at Devils Tower near Hulett due to the fire near Dayton, as Tongue River was slated to host. The rest of the races are in Thermopolis, Lander, Rawlins, Cheyenne, and Rock Springs. Only a few teams will not compete this week. The results will be posted in this story after the races are done. A couple of races switched from Friday to Thursday due to the weather forecast.

This will be the final tune-up before next week’s state championships in Cheyenne, WY. All start times were provided by the host sites.
