The relays and pentathlon format provide early chances to test depth and versatility across events. Green River, which finished as state runner-up last season, will look to build on that momentum as it begins its 2025 campaign.

Rock Springs will also be on the road Friday, competing at the Rawlins Pre-Invite against Cheyenne East, Douglas, Evanston, Lyman and host Rawlins. The Lady Tigers return Saturday for the Dale Ross Pentathlon in Rawlins, where they will again face Douglas, Evanston, Lyman and Rawlins.

For both programs, the opening weekend offers a first look at lineups and offseason progress.
