Wyoming High School Cross Country Results: Sept. 12-14, 2019

The third week of the high school cross country season featured a preview of the state championship course.

Afton, WY was the biggest competition spot for the weekend. Teams had a chance to compete on the Valli-vue golf course where they will run in October for 2019's state culminating event.  Some teams opted to head to events just across a border and fared very well.
