Wyoming High School Cross Country Week 6: Oct. 1-3, 2020
The final month of the high school cross country season is upon us. The state championship meets are only three weeks away.
Lander starts the weekend off with a small meet on Thursday, while Torrington heads out-of-state. The bigger meets are on Friday with Cody, Evanston, and Wheatland hosting. The Wheatland meet has attracted several schools, which means it will be broken down into different races. The week concludes with one meet in Wright on Saturday.
