Wyoming High School Golf Week 1: Aug. 12-14, 2020
The 2020 Wyoming High School golf season is here. With revised schedules due to restrictions in place, smaller tournament fields are now the norm.
The season begins on Wednesday, Aug. 12, and will finish up at three different venues with the state championships on Sept. 18 and 19. Class 2A will be Kemmerer, Class 3A is in Evanston (hosted by Lyman), and Class 4A will be in Casper.
The defending 2A team champions are Sundance for the girls and Thermopolis for the boys. Both individual champions are back to defend their medalist honors. That would be sophomore Sheridan Schubarth from Sundance and junior Hardy Johnson of Thermopolis.
In Class 3A, the Riverton girls and Lander boys won the team crowns in 2019. There is only one returning champion, that’s Lander senior Jaren Calkins on the boys’ side. There will be a new female champion in 2020.
For Class 4A, the defending team winners are Thunder Basin girls and the Kelly Walsh boys. Thunder Basin’s Maria Farnum is entering her senior season and has a chance to defend her individual crown, while the 4A boys will have a new champ.
