Girls’ Winners

Griffin won the Bobcat Invite in Thermopolis last week. It was only the second win in program history, but the first outright title. Griffin won in a playoff two seasons ago as a freshman, but this time the junior won the crown in regulation. She fired an 88 in the opening round and trailed by three shots. Kelsie responded with an 84 in the final round and won by four shots. Her total of 172 was a school record.

WyoPreps visited with Griffin earlier this week about her victory. She reflected on how she played in both rounds, what she felt was key to the comeback, how she approached the course, where she has improved, and more.

Rio Barr began the fall tennis season with a pair of victories for the South Bison at the No. 1 singles position. She won her first match over an opponent from Kelly Walsh, 6-4 and 6-4. Barr followed that with a 6-1 and 6-3 victory over a foe from Natrona County. Cheyenne South’s girls’ tennis program has not seen much success through the years, but Barr is out to change that and is off to a great start in 2025.

Barr discussed last week’s play with WyoPreps. The sophomore touched on how focusing on her play was key, which parts of the game she thought helped her to the two victories, what she’s tried to improve in the off-season, and more.

His effort helped the Broncs to a 3-1 start this season.

The senior spoke to WyoPreps about his fast start last week. Stewart said playing his game was key. He felt his aggressive play led to the wins, discussed what he’s tried to improve, described the Broncs’ team this season, and more.
