Jake Schlattmann made the most of his second National High School Finals Rodeo appearance, placing seventh in saddle bronc at the national competition held last week in Gillette.

The Greybull High School senior to be and son of Dean and Sara Schlattmann improved on his finish from 2021, when he didn’t qualify for the short go after getting bucked off on his first ride and scoring a 46 on his second.

“I definitely wasn’t as nervous this time,” he said.

It showed, as he posted scores on all three of his rides.

A Greybull woman was one of 202 runners who participated in the annual Bighorn Trail Run June 18 in the Bighorn Mountains.

The trail run has been cancelled the last few years due to the pandemic, but it was back this year and Jenna Schultz made sure to reserve her place. 

Schultz is no stranger to competitive running. She picked it up when she began teaching in La Valle, Wis. in 2009, starting with 5K races.

Midway Golf Course is a special place to the Core family, so when Ginny died in 2020 and Jim followed her in 2021, those left to mourn came up with a unique way of honoring them while respecting their wishes for no funeral services.

It all came together on Sunday when their home course between Greybull and Basin hosted an 18-hole tournament that began with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. and ended with a celebration of Jim and Ginny’s lives and their contributions to the community.

In addition the PEAKS to Conga cyclists and the Harley owners passing through on their way to and from Cody, there was a third, far less visible group of two-wheeled adventurers in town last weekend gathering like they always do at the Green Oasis Campground.

This year’s “Yellowstone Rally” attracted 40 dirt bikers from around the world who spent the long weekend riding the backroads and seeing the sights of the Big Horn Basin, guided every step of the way by road books mounted on their bikes.

The Greybull Buffs didn’t have the numbers to make a run at a team title, but there was still plenty to rejoice about in the aftermath of last weekend’s State 2A Track and Field Championships in Casper. 

Ten of the 14 GHS athletes that made the trip earned medals — some of them in multiple events — and one Buff, senior Gaven McColloch, joined some very exclusive company with an epic run in the 3,200 meters, in which he became the first Buff to win that 2A crown in more than three decades.

The Greybull Buffs added two new state qualifiers at the Bobcat Invitational.

Sophomore Aiden Reece soared to new heights in the high jump to become the sixth team member guaranteed a trip to the State 2A Track and Field Championships in Casper.

Reese cleared 5 feet, 10 inches — a 4-inch improvement over the 5-6 mark that had stood as his personal best.  The leap was good for fifth place in Thermopolis.  Four jumpers from 1A Burlington finished ahead of him, with Gideon George clearing 6-4 for the win.
