April sadness
I'm a little at a loss of what
to do with myself now that the
Final Four is over and March
Madness has ended.
My love for basketball makes
me eagerly await the season
every year, and though I love
some warmer weather, I get kind
of sad when basketball comes to
an end.
This year, the Final Four
tournament gave viewers just
about everything they could
possibly want when it came to
drama and excitement.
There were huge upsets
early on that, though they were
bracket busters, were awesome
games that really played well
into the
American
story of the
underdog
coming out
on top.
Two
14 seeds
Sonja K:rp defeated
Karpe Dogie their
number
three seed competitors in
the first round, with Georgia
State knocking off Baylor and
'.[JAB getting past Iowa State,
11 seed Dayton upset number
six Providence, number seven
.Michigan State surprised
number two Virginia, and 10
seed Ohio State sent number
three VCU packing.
Kentucky was on an historic
perfect season run entering the
tournament with a 34-0 record,
and then ran up against a deter-
mined Wisconsin team who
ended their winning streak at
38 games and sent them home
in the semis with their dream
unfulfilled.
i And then there was the
championship matchup
between Duke and Wisconsin.
Coming off their big upset over
Kentucky, Wisconsin had great
momentum and could taste the
NCAA title, but they would have
to get past the Blue Devils to
make it happen.
The entire tournament had
been full of close, hard-fought
battles so I know that I was
hoping for it to end as it had
begun, and I was certainly not
disappointed.
There were 13 lead changes
in the first half alone, and after
20 minutes of play the game was
deadlocked at 31. This was the
first time the championship game
was tied at half since 1988.
Duke starts three true
freshmen, One of whom is their
big man, Jahlil Okafor, who is
strong and generally has his way
with any defender. Unfortunately
for Duke, Okafor found himself
in foul trouble in the second
fialf, so spent most of it on the
bench.
Given that Wisconsin's big,
Frank Kminsky was fresh off of
winning the Naismith Trophy,
this loss did not bode well for
the Blue Devils.
However, no one told
freshmen guards Tyus Jones and
Grayson Allen that Wisconsin

Dogies hope to hq at it up

What a difference a week makes when it comes to
Wyoming's weather.
Of course it stands to reason that given that
the soccer and track seasons are in full swing, last
Thursday's annual Speed Goat Classic presented a
very different venue for the Dogie tracksters than
they had been blessed with the week before in
Buffalo. Gone were the sunshine and warm tempera-
tures, only to be replaced by wind and frigid air.
Despite the windy and cold conditions, athletes
from a total of 11 schools, ranging in size from 1A to
3A classifications in Wyoming, showed up to brave
the elements. South Dakota sent teams to compete
as well.
Unfortunately, the Dogies didn't produce at a
level that warmed anybody's spirits either.
"The day really showed us how much work we
have to do" sighed head coach Pat Hayman, who
believes his athletes failed to show what they are
really made of.
"We need to train harder in every event, because
our results did not reflect what these kids are capable
of producing," he added.
There were some athletes who finished in the top
three of their respective events, but Hayman pointed
out that the whole team would really have to step up
their game if they expect to compete at the Regional
and State meets, especially against the bigger schools
from the west side of the state.
Hayman did acknowledge that the weather
conditions were miserable on Thursday, with the
runners slamming into a nasty headwind on the
backside of the track, and with temperatures that
had him donning his Carhart's, so he knows that
those conditions definitely contributed to the ath-
letes' performances.
Despite the adverse conditions, Calbi Ausmann
added to her state qualified events by finishing first in
the 3200 Meter run with a qualifying time of 5:41.76.
She also finished first in the 1600 Meter run, for
which she qualified last week in Buffalo.
"We also had others who were very close to
qualifying in several events, so we are on the right
track in those areas," Hayman stated.
Low team numbers once again contributed to the
overall team finishes. In comparison, Glenrock came
into the meet with 48 athletes and Douglas brought
70, while Newcastle had only 26.
The Dogies finished in seventh place with Jadob
Esposito contributing to his team's score with a third
place in the 110 meter hurdles, fourth in the 300
meter hurdles and fifth in the triple jump, Trenton
Parsons took third in the 1600 meter run and first in
the 3200 meter run, Cam Quigley tied for tenth in the
pole vault, Johnny Walker finished sixth in the shot
put throw and the 4x100 meter relay and 4x400 meter
relay teams also added to the score.
The Lady Dogies came in fourth place behind the
other 3A Wyoming teams in attendance.
Ausmann scored for the team with her first place
finishes in the 1600 and 3200 meter runs, Laura
Chord helped with her first place finish in the 100

meter and 300 meter hurdles, Mikenna Waggener
added a third place finish in the 1600 meter run while
Sarah Henkle also claimed a third place finish in the
300 meter hurdles. Rachel Henkle placed fifth in the
pole vault, and the 4x400 meter relay team took first
for the team score.
"We definitely need to refocus this week to get
ready for the Spearfish meet on Friday," acknowl-
edged Hayman. "We will see some much bigger
schools there, so the competition will be tougher.
That will be a good test of where we stand in relation
to those culminating events," he surmised.
With the Easter break behind them, the team will
be working hard to elevate their performance to the
next level to tackle that stiffer competition on Friday,
April 10.

More bait legal under new fishing regulations
The Wyoming Game and Fish
Department reported this week that the
warmer weather of the past few weeks
has effectively removed the ice from
most waters in the state and anglers in
increasing numbers are taking advan-
tage of the good fishing that is usually
available once waters open up.
With that increase in fishing
activity, the agency is reminding
anglers of the new fishing regulations
that went into effect beginning in 2015.
These changes came about because of
action by the Wyoming Game and Fish
Commission last fall and went through
a series of public meetings.
Of interest to anglers and live
baitfish dealers is the change that
allows transport of live baitfish into
the state from approved commercial
hatcheries. The regulation includes
new requirements specific to live bait-
fish importation.
The new regulation will allow those
holding a commercial hatchery license
or a live baitfish dealer license to
import fathead minnows from Game
and Fish approved commercial sources
outside the State of Wyoming.
"This regulation was changed spe-
cifically to improve the live baitfish
supply for those anglers that prefer to
use live baitfish," said Game and Fish
fisheries chief, Mark Fowden. "We
are confident the safeguards we have
put in place by only allowing baitfish
to be imported from secure sources
will make it easier for anglers to get
baitfish and still prevent introduction
of unwanted species into Wyoming
waters."
Other changes of note reflect a
change in state law allowing the use
of corn for bait and the use of arti-
ficial lighting devices while fishing.
The regulation
will continue
to prohibit the
use of artificial
light when spear
gunning for
game fish. The
new fishing
regulations
booklet listing
all changes is now on the Game and
Fish website wgfd.wyo.gov. Printed
copies are available at license selling
agents. The new changes are high-
lighted throughout the booklet.
