Cross country, girls swimming & diving, and volleyball had big wins last week for Laramie High School athletics.

Golf finished its fall season, while tennis was at regionals in Rock Springs.

LHS Golf

Five golfers played in the Class 4A state championships at the White Mountain Golf Course in Rock Springs. Neither Laramie team qualified, so it was just two girls and three boys playing individually.

Seniors Grace Kordon and Samantha Kitchen closed out their careers. Kordon tied for 20th, while Kitchen tied for 27th.

For the boys, the top finisher was James Trask in 20th place. Carson Moniz and Colin Suloff also participated.
