State Track in Casper is often a weather-related gamble and the first day of the 2026 meet was full of wind, rain and snow which impacted the schedule of events to alter the Friday and Saturday schedules. However, Star Valley athletes are no strangers to such weather conditions and scored in several events on Thursday.

Leading the way was a second-place finish in the 3200 meter run for senior Colton Cranney, earning all-state for his efforts. His time was 9:37.22.
