The Sheridan High School track teams headed into spring break with a great finish at a meet hosted by Cody High School. The Broncs won the meet; the Lady Broncs finished 2nd. This week, they are having practices in the morning as they prepare for a meet in Worland Saturday. Early season success can be attributed to the indoor season, when athletes get a two month head start on the outdoor season. Coach Art Bauers says since the indoor season was sanctioned by the state four years ago, it’s given students that wouldn’t be in a winter sport a chance to get out and compete:

. Both teams are off to a great start this spring. One big factor - participation is through the roof:

. They also have a great number of underclassmen out this spring, including many freshmen. Bauers gives credit to the junior high track program for that:

. Again, the Broncs and Lady Broncs will compete at an invitational in Worland Saturday. Sheridan High School will host the Annual Dan Hansen Invitational April 19th.

The numbers game really plays a big factor in all the sports, but participation is up this spring in both the Bronc and Lady Bronc programs. Broncs coach Kevin Riser has been pleased with the amount of students that have come out for the team:

. Riser says the main focus of the Broncs over the last three weeks has been getting the program working in a new direction:

. That’s been obvious in the Broncs' first two games. Riser says winning the opener and tying the state champs last Thursday was a great start to the season:

. The Lady Broncs will play at Laramie Friday evening and at Riverton Saturday afternoon. The Broncs will host Laramie Friday. The JV’s will play at 4pm, with the varsity at 6 o’clock on Saturday. They host Riverton with matches at 11am and 1pm.

The Sheridan Troopers have had a change to their schedule. Actually every Double “AA” American Legion baseball team has had to change their schedule, because Casper has dropped their American Legion program for this season. It was stunning news, but the dysfunction of Casper youth baseball has reared its ugly head again. An incident involving Casper coaches, players, and parents in August at last year’s State Tournament in Sheridan started a chain of events that led to another split in the Casper youth baseball program, so Casper is out.
