Class 2A – Newcastle Country Club in Newcastle, WY (Upton is the host)

The Upton girls are two-time defending team champs, but they cannot win the title this year, as Upton has only one player in the field of players. The Thermopolis boys have won five in a row and seven of the last nine state titles.

There will be a new individual state champion for both the girls and boys.

It’s a shotgun start on both days. Friday will begin at 10 a.m., while Saturday’s final round starts at 9 a.m.

Class 3A – Green Hills Golf Course in Worland, WY

Both team champions from 2022 are seeking a three-peat this year. The Wheatland girls and Riverton boys have won the last two 3A titles.

Erika Cook from Lovell and Parker Paxton of Riverton are going for four straight individual state championships. Cook won by two shots and Paxton by 15 shots in 2022.

Both days feature tee times. Friday features a ‘wave’ start at 9 a.m. There will be assigned tee times beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday.
