Wyoming Indian picked up a runner-up finish in both the boys’ and girls’ Five-Rivers Conference Regional Cross Country meet early Friday afternoon at Ethete.
The meet was originally scheduled for Thursday, but the autumn storm that swept through Wyoming necessitated a postponement until Friday at no one.
Wyoming Indian’s Dai’Onna Posey was second for the girls and Colton SunRhodes finished in the runner-up position for the boys.
The Lady Chiefs are regional champions finishing in first with just 14 points behind Posey, and sixth and seventh place finishes respectively by Camellia Brown and Shye Killsontop. Thermopolis was a distant second with 38 points.
The boys were edged by a good Burlington team 24 to 27 in a close race that was determined by a single position.
Joining SunRhodes in the team scoring was Heeyeiniitou Monroe Black in seventh place, Jordan Black in eighth, and Marley C’Hair in the 10th position.
The state meet is next Saturday in Cheyenne, hosted by Cheyenne South High School.
