Day 2 of the Wyoming State Track and Field Championships are in the books with just one final day of competition left in the 2025-26 school year. For the Kemmerer girls and boys track teams they were able to add to their point totals heading into the weekend.
After the second day of action, the Lady Rangers sat at 26 points which placed them eighth overall in the 2A standings. Big Horn has a huge lead heading into the final day with 83 points, nearly double that of second-place Sundance and their total of 45.
