Junior Sophie Spiva, sophomore Kira Reisner and freshman Emerson Purcell round out the lineup. Two other Cowgirls, freshman Lucia Morelli and junior Grace Dunkleberger, will compete as individuals.

At the 2024 Thunderbird Classic, senior Jadan Gonzalez shared the individual trophy during a strong showing for UW.

"We always look forward to competing in this event with the past success we've had in the program," Cowgirls head coach Josey Stender said. "The golf course is unique, a fun style of target golf with some risk and reward."

The 12-team Thunderbird Classic field also includes Cal Bakersfield, Eastern Washington, Idaho State, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Stetson, Cal Riverside, Utah Tech, Utah Valley and Weber State.

"The start of the spring provided a lot of constructive feedback, individually and as a team," Stender said. "I think we have applied those things in a solid two weeks of practice."

UW will next compete at the Santa Clara Silicon Valley Showcase March 24-25 in Millbrae, Calif., before hosting the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic April 2-3 in Maricopa, Ariz.

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.

Just The Facts: Size Doesn't Matter For Wyoming's War Memorial Stadium

Did you know it would take the populations of Gillette (32,857), Laramie (32,381), Rock Springs (23,319), Sheridan (17,844) and Wright (1,200) to create a sellout inside Michigan's famed 107,601-seat Big House, the largest college football stadium in the nation?

For those of you not familiar with the Cowboy State, those are Wyoming's third through sixth most inhabited cities, along with the small mining town in Campbell County.
