Top Wyoming Athletes Shine In Softball, Track, And Soccer

The WyoPreps Athletes of the Week, presented by Premier Bone and Joint Centers, turned in outstanding efforts on the softball diamond, in field events from track and field, and on the soccer pitch. After last week’s performances, May 5 through May 11, 2025, Cody junior Amelia Reinker, Kemmerer senior Derek Hagler, and Buffalo junior Orion Ostheimer were selected for the weekly honor. Reinker led a perfect week for the Filly softball program. Hagler dominated the throws at three track meets last week, and Ostheimer helped the Bison to a pair of conference victories.
