SWEETWATER COUNTY — Green River and Rock Springs will head in different directions this week, each coming off notable performances at the Thoman Invitational as they continue through the heart of the wrestling season with both boys and girls programs in action.
Rock Springs travels to Pinedale on Thursday, Jan. 22, for a tri-meet with Pinedale and Star Valley. The Tigers enter the week after a challenging but productive Thoman weekend, highlighted by a strong showing from the girls side. Rock Springs, competing in a combined lineup, went undefeated through the dual portion of the tournament and capped the event by winning the championship over host Green River. Several Tigers also shined in the Best of the Best duals, including individual victories from Sarah Eddy and Rylin Plant, underscoring the program’s continued growth on the girls side. The tri-meet will provide another opportunity for both the boys and girls to build on that momentum in a dual-meet setting.
