State Wrestling Day 1: The Sheridan boys wrestling team went a combined 20-17 in both the first round and in the first round of wrestle-backs yesterday, during the first day of the 2024 Wyoming High School State Wrestling Meet in Casper.

Meanwhile the Tongue River boys sit in 10th place in the 2A standings.
On the girls side, Sheridan is in 8th place and not everyone competed on the first day.
