Panthers get two in

The dynamic Wyoming weather may have forced the cancellation of the Rawlins Invite, but that didn’t stop the Saratoga Panthers from finding two other invites in which to compete last week. On Thursday, the Panthers traveled to Cheyenne to compete in the Cheyenne Okie Blanchard Invitational and on Saturday they competed in the Ted Schroeder Invitational in Rock Springs. The team would also prequalify in several more events.
