The three-day meet begins Thursday and runs through Saturday, with Class 4A events, featuring both Green River and Rock Springs, set for Thursday and Friday. Class 3A competition follows on Friday and Saturday.
Laramie enters as the defending 4A champion, having won seven of the past eight titles, while Lander dominated 3A last year and remains the heavy favorite to repeat. Cheyenne Central is considered the frontrunner to challenge Laramie for this year’s 4A crown.

Green River will look to build on its strong tradition at state after several standout performances last season. The Lady Wolves return multiple defending event champions, including senior Tavia Arnell, who captured titles in the 200 individual medley and 100 butterfly. Green River also won both the 200 medley relay and 200 freestyle relay in 2024, giving the team solid momentum heading into this year’s meet.
Arnell has carried that success into her senior season, winning multiple events throughout the fall and finishing first overall in the Gillette Pentathlon earlier this year. She will once again anchor Green River’s relays and lead a roster that has shown strong depth and growth in sprint and stroke events.
For Rock Springs, the focus will be on continuing steady improvement and representing well in a deep 4A field. The Lady Tigers have been led by standout performances from Zoe Schmidt, who won two individual events at the Rawlins Pre-Invite earlier this season, along with Kaylee Moore, whose strength in the breaststroke has made her a consistent contributor in both individual and relay events.
