The Cowgirls have had a strong showing thus far during their fall schedule. Wyoming has taken home a pair of titles at previous tournaments this year. The fall began with Violetta Borodina and Sophie Zehender winning the doubles title at the Bedford Cup, hosted by the Air Force Academy.

It was the first title of any kind at the Bedford Cup in program history for UW. A few weeks later, Noesjka Brink claimed a singles title at the Colorado State Jon Messick Invitational.

This week’s tournament marks the first time in five years that the Mountain Regional was not hosted by UNLV. A total of 19 teams will be competing at the regional, including eight Mountain West squads.

All student-athletes are guaranteed at least two matches. In Division I, regional doubles champions, as well as regional singles champions and runners-up, qualify for the ITA National Fall Championships at the end of the fall season in November.

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.
