After over a month away from competition, Reynolds maintained a personal-best performance in the weight throw. In his penultimate attempt at the Bobcat Challenge in Bozeman, Mont., he rebroke his school and Mountain West record with a throw of 77’ 8.75” (23.69 meters), good for the No. 6 mark in the nation this season.

This is Reynolds' first time winning two conference awards in one season. Previously, he won the Field Athlete of the Week award on Jan. 30 in the 2024 indoor season, April 16 in the 2024 outdoor season and Dec. 10 in this indoor season.

Reynolds and the rest of the team will travel to Boulder, Colo., this weekend for the Colorado Invitational on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1.

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players

During the summer of 2021, 7220Sports.com counted down the Top 50 football players in University of Wyoming history, presented by Premier Bone & Joint Centers, Worthy of Wyoming.

The rules are simple: What was the player's impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.

This isn't a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220's Cody Tucker are Robert Gagliardi, Jared Newland, Ryan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.

We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS -- only we hope this catalog is fairer.
