NEW ORLEANS (March 27, 2025) – Senior thrower Daniel Reynolds and the University of Wyoming track and field program debut on The Bowerman post-NCAA Watch List, announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association on Thursday.
After winning the NCAA weight throw title with a meet record and the collegiate No. 2 All-Time throw of 25.08 meters, Reynolds finds himself as the first Wyoming student-athlete on The Bowerman Watch List. Last Watch List update, he earned votes, but not enough to make the Top-10.
Other members on the list include Mykolas Alekna (California), James Corrigan (BYU), Nathaniel Ezekiel (Baylor), Simen Guttormsen (Duke), Carli Makarawu (Kentucky), Gary Martin (Virginia), Tarik Robinson-O’Hagan (Ole Miss), Ethan Strand (North Carolina) and Ja’Kobe Tharp (Auburn).

THE BOWERMAN
The Bowerman, collegiate track and field’s highest honor, is bestowed each year to the top male and female athlete in NCAA and NAIA track and field. Bill Bowerman, the award’s namesake, was a track and field coaching legend at the University of Oregon from 1949-72, went on to coach the 1972 Olympic Team and led the formation of the United States Track and Field Federation.
Votes are compiled by members of The Bowerman Advisory Board, a group of national and regional media members, track and field statisticians, NCAA administrators, past winners and Presidents of affiliated organizations. Voters produce a Top-10 list of the “who’s who” in collegiate track and field.
The next voting update will be released on April 17.

JACKSON, Wyo. – Jackson Hole Public Art (JHPA) is proud to announce the
public installation of 250 Portraits, a community art project featuring self-portraits created and submitted by Wyoming residents from across the state. Launched in honor of the nation’s 250th anniversary, the project invited Wyomingites of all ages and backgrounds to submit portraits of themselves or other Wyoming residents, resulting in a vibrant and deeply personal collection of artwork.
Portraits were submitted by artists ranging in age from 5 to over 80, representing residents from 16 of Wyoming’s 23 counties. Participants included individuals, families, school groups, and educators who worked with their students to take part. The result is a wide-ranging snapshot of the people who call Wyoming home, from young children just beginning to express themselves through art to lifelong residents reflecting on decades of experience and identity.
The portraits are now on display in five large-scale grid installations located throughout downtown Jackson. They can be found at the Center for the Arts, JH Book Trader, the Antler Inn, the alley at Pinky G’s, and the Jackson Hole Elks Lodge. The exhibition will remain on view throughout the summer, giving locals and visitors alike the opportunity to take in the full collection at their own pace.
The exhibit, 250 Portraits, was designed to highlight both individual identity and collective belonging, weaving together faces from communities large and small into a single, statewide visual portrait of Wyoming’s people. By placing the work in accessible, high-traffic locations in downtown Jackson, JHPA hopes to spark conversation among residents and visitors about what it means to be part of a community that spans such a wide and varied landscape.
A self-guided walking map is available to help visitors navigate between the five sites and experience other public art projects throughout Jackson. For more information and to access the 2026 Public Art Map, visit https://www.jhpublicart.org/art/2026map.
Pair your portrait with an audio story! Please consider adding your voice to another state-wide project celebrating the stories of everyday Wyomingites: Re-Storying the West.
All over Wyoming, there are little free libraries in neighborhoods for those who are looking for a new book. The process is simple. Take a book and leave one for others to experience.

We also have neighborhood food pantries for families in a pinch who need a little help. Again, the process is easy. Take a meal, and when you’re able, leave one for another family in need.

Several of the North Platte River’s access points have loaner life jackets. Once again, it’s simple. If you need a life jacket, take one, then return it to another access point for others who need it.

These are fantastic programs across the state that show how much communities care about others. I found another program that I think would really fly here, and it’s already going strong in some places around the country, like Montana.
The process, just like these other programs, is simple but very effective. With Wyoming fisheries being so popular, these could help make it an even bigger global sensation.
Flybrary – Take a fly, leave a fly.
I saw this article on FlyLordsMag.com and thought it was fantastic.
Montana artist Brandi Massey is passionate about fly fishing, and she used her own experience of leaving her fly box at home when leaving for a fly fishing trip. After that experience, she remembered seeing a “Flybrary” on her social media timeline and decided to jump into action and do her own version of the “Flybrary” to ensure other fly fishing trips don’t get ruined because of not having any flies.
She had her dad build the box, got her permits, and put up her first “Flybrary” on the Blackfoot River, and has more in the works.
In the article, Brandi explained why she decided to do it.
I’ve been fly fishing since I could hold a fly pole in my hand. Always trying to catch more fish than my dad. I love the fly fishing community and this is a great way to stay connected to the community. I’m an artist and this is an amazing way to show a piece of myself to the world.
