Wyoming High School Track Week 3 Condensed, But Competition Heats Up Thursday


Wyoming’s 2026 high school track and field season faces a bit of an abbreviated week, with most schools not in competition over the upcoming holiday weekend. That means Thursday will be a busy day, weather-permitting. There are four track meets in the state, and all of them are on April 2. Worland hosts their annual D&D Invitational, and Natrona County has its Glen Legler Early Bird in Casper. Those are the two largest competitions.

Sheridan and Wheatland also host track meets with a smaller number of teams. A handful of schools will not compete in Wyoming, but instead head to Utah, Nebraska, or Colorado. Spring Break is still impacting programs around the state. Here is the Week 3 schedule. It is subject to change.

Election Q&A: Steve Harshman for Wyoming superintendent of public instruction


CASPER, Wyo. — As the Aug. 18 primary election approaches, Oil City News is introducing candidate questionnaires to help voters make informed decisions at the ballot box.

Every candidate in the primary field was sent the same three questions and given a limit of 500 words, which could be distributed among their answers as they saw fit. To ensure a fair and direct line to the community, all responses are published exactly as submitted, without edits or alterations.

Candidates were asked:

  • What are the most crucial challenges your constituents are facing?
  • If elected, how will you address these challenges?
  • What qualities or qualifications do you possess that have prepared you to meet these challenges?

Questionnaires are being published on a rolling basis online through Aug. 11. They will be accessible via the Oil City News Election Tracker.

Additionally, Oil City News will mail a comprehensive print voters guide directly to all Natrona County households in mid-July, featuring all questionnaires received by July 6.

Steve Harshman (R), Wyoming superintendent of public instruction

What are the most crucial challenges your constituents are facing?

Wyoming is blessed and full of abundance.  We are the best place to work, live and raise a family. We also have challenges that include the escalating cost of living, healthcare access and young people leaving our state.

If elected, how will you address these challenges?

As your State Superintendent I bring a record of solving problems with an eye on the future. As a member of the State Loan and Investment Board I will continue my work to grow our investments, to invest in ourselves and build infrastructure in our communities to lower the costs of housing. I have been the leader of property tax reform which keeps money in our pockets.

We will soon be training Physician Assistants in our state to produce more caregivers in our communities. I worked on this for years and it will soon benefit all of our communities. I championed the bill that permanently endowed our suicide prevention iniatives. Wyoming is now making progress in this area.

As a parent of four kids, I am focussed on our future. As a state leader I have promoted innovation, smart development and diversification. After the clean air act was passed in the early 70’s Governor Hathaway and the state loan and investment board went out and recruited the coal industry to Wyoming. Thank Goodness. I was the lead author of the Hathaway scholarship and insisted we honor a war hero and visionary leader who said yes to Wyoming’s future! I will say yes to our future as well!

What qualities/qualifications do you possess that have prepared you to meet these challenges?

I was born and raised in Natrona County. My Dad was an electrician who worked in the oil and gas business in Midwest and later Wright. I am the only candidate in this race who has worked on an oil rig and a ranch. I am a product of Wyoming public schools, my four kids are products of our schools. I have been blessed to serve as a lifelong teacher and coach and to serve our people in the Wyoming Legislature where I protected our rights, balanced budgets and kept our taxes low. As your Superintendent I realize our schools are the heartbeat of our communities, and the cornerstone of our republic. I realize every child has potential and working together we can unlock that potential. Wyoming has the highest percentage of kids enrolled in our public schools at 93%. Fifteen states test every junior on the ACT, Wyoming was #1 two years ago and 2nd last year. Our kids are always in the top 10 joining the military, our kids are patriots. Our 4th grade reading scores are some of the best in the nation. I understand most of our kids are blue collar and looking for promising careers in the trades. I authored the Hathaway scholarship. I saved the career technical education program at UW when they were going to close it. I will continue to work for our kids and our schools so our kids and grandkids can stay right here in Wyoming and live the American Dream!
