Wyoming got behind early, much like it did in last week’s match against CSU as it dropped the doubles point. Violetta Borodina and Sophie Zehender won the Cowgirls’ lone match in doubles, winning in shutout fashion at the No. 1 spot, 6-0. The duo closes the 2024 campaign with a single-season program record, 28 wins together.

From Bison to Triceratops - All of Wyoming's Official Things

Every state in our nation has chosen things that represent the state in one way or another to be official state things. Like a flower, or animal. Wyoming is no different.

The Equality State, or the Cowboy State, depending on which state slogan you want to go with, has a state flower. But did you know we also have a state tree and a state fish? Yes, we even have a state code.

To be an official thing, a member of the state legislature must write and submit a bill to the legislature declaring that a thing will be the official state thing. Then the legislature votes to pass the bill, or not, if it passes, the governor signs the bill into law and we have a new official state thing.

Here is what we have so far, all of Wyoming's official things. Now you can win big on Wyo Trivia Night if that's a thing that exists.
