The poll, conducted by USTFCCCA member coaches, ranked the top 30 teams heading into the first week of the cross country season. Wyoming found itself with two votes, good for T-36th. This marks the first time the Cowboys have received preseason votes since the 2020 cross country season.

Last season, Wyoming didn’t see any votes until week three when it finished fourth at the Joe Piane Invitational. Cowboys peaked at No. 20 and finished the year at No. 30 following their appearance in the NCAA Cross Country National Championships.

The 2025 season opens for the Pokes this Saturday, Aug. 30, when they host the Wyoming Invite at the Little America Golf Course in Cheyenne, Wyo. The women race at 9 a.m. while the men take the course at 9:30 a.m.

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.
