The State Track Meet started in Casper on Thursday with snow, rain, and cold temperatures.

Some events on both the track and in the field were suspended due to the weather and will be run on Friday on an adjusted schedule. You have to give the kids a lot of credit for battling through the conditions; it wasn't very pleasant.

In the 3200 meter runs, Saratoga's Madison Teichman placed first in 12.34.81. Larissa McElroy of Wyoming Indian won the 2A race in 12.31.21, Emma Gonzoles of Burns captured the 3A race in 11.32.18 and Sydney Morrell of Cheyenne Central was the 4A girls 3200 winner in 11.20.22.

On the boy's side in the 3200, Grant Bartlett of Saratoga repeated as the state champion in 10.30.88, and Al Spotted of Tongue River prevailed in 2A in 10.13.75.
