“My thoughts and prayers are with our swimming and diving student-athletes, coaches, families and friends,” Wyoming athletics director Tom Burman added. “It is difficult to lose members of our University of Wyoming family, and we mourn the loss of these student-athletes. We have counseling services available to our student-athletes and coaches in our time of need.”
A GoFundMe was set up for the families of the victims.
Two other members of the swimming and diving team were injured. They are believed to have suffered non-life–threatening injuries.

“We are heartsick at the news of this terrible tragedy for our university, our state, our student-athlete community, and most importantly, the families and friends of these young people,” Seidel said. “Words are insufficient to express our sadness.”
The single-vehicle crash occurred just about 10 miles south of the Wyoming-Colorado border on U.S. 287 between Laramie, Wyoming, and Fort Collins, Colorado.

Colorado Highway getting bicycle bypass bridge
The first of two closures happened on Colorado Highway 119 as crews install a new bicycle bypass bridge. The upgrade is part of the Safety Mobility and Bikeway Improvements Project in Boulder County.
The bike-overpass bridge is being installed at the intersection of 63rd Street and Highway 119. The highway is expected to see a 25-percent increase in drivers by 2040. The goal of this project is to make the highway safer for everyone. It was fast tracked after the death of Magnus White, a teen cyclist who was hit and killed in that area two years ago.
“Obviously, we’ve lost a couple of pretty wonderful young people out there,” one cyclist told CBS News Colorado. “I’ve been here over 40 years so it used to be a lot more accessible.”
The highway did reopen Friday afternoon, but another closure is planned for Friday, July 17, 2026 from 5:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
