Three cross-country races will be in Wyoming during Week 3 of the prep season. Riverton, Douglas, and Ethete will host over three days. Riverton and Douglas are similar-sized cross-country meets, while Wyoming Indian has a smaller event. Several teams will compete at venues closer to home rather than traveling a longer distance. Of course, that’s not the case for everyone. Teams are competing in Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Utah.
