But Douglas resident Allie Oban, completed the virtual Boston Marathon in and around Douglas this past Sunday.

The Douglas LadyCats volleyball team opens their season at home this weekend... here's our interview with LadyCats head coach Angela Rhoades... 082720
The Wyoming American Legion Baseball board is opening an investigation into a bat used during the Legion A State Baseball Tournament in Powell last month.
The bat became the source of controversy, especially on social media, after Douglas Cats coach Zach Andrews pointed out its use by the Cody Cubs during the Douglas-Cody game at the state tournament.
State Chairman Cody Beers recently released a statement that said State Board members were unaware of the issues surrounding the Louisville Meta 33-inch, 30-ounce bat that had been decertified by the NCAA and NFHS.
Beers said State officials became aware of the 33-30 Louisville Meta bat from a coach not involved in the Cody-Douglas game during the State A Tournament in Powell, and Beers subsequently removed the bat from the Cody Cubs team, and from further competition in the A state tournament.
Now the Board, the State American Legion Commander, and State American Legion Adjutant are discussing the issues involving this Louisville Meta bat and its impact on the ‘integrity of Wyoming baseball.’
There is a possibility after the review that sanctions or penalties could be imposed. 082020

Sports programs are done at Sheridan College and Gillette College.
In the face of major cuts in state funding, administrators at the two Northern Wyoming Community College Campuses announced Thursday that their entire athletics programs have been cut. That includes mens and womens basketball and soccer programs at both schools.
The rodeo program is the only program that will continue at both schools, but with a significantly reduced budget.
Cutting athletics will account for a $2.8 million savings in the college district's budget.
The college district also is cutting $500,000 from administration and academic budgets, along with $260,000 from campus police.
The overall budget cuts come to nearly $4 million.
Both Gillette and Sheridan College say that they'll offer academic scholarships to students who were on athletic scholarships.
Coaches will start looking for work elsewhere. 062520

What's the plan for high school football this fall?
That was one of the topics of discussion on Tuesday when the Wyoming High School Activities Association met in person for the first time since the coronavirus shutdown in March.
All six upcoming fall sports — cross country, girls swimming, volleyball, tennis, golf and football — were discussed, and how the various seasons might take place if COVID-19 is still active in Wyoming.
Regarding football, among the ideas considered were a late start to the season and how that might affect postseason seeding, a return to the football power ratings that were done away with in 2009, and playing a shorter season.
The board also discussed playing only conference games in all classifications, and talked about returning state championship games to a home stadium for this year if championship games conflicted with a Wyoming Cowboys game at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie.
Commissioner Ron Laird said there was even the possibility of not having a football season at all.
No final decisions were made at Tuesday's meeting. 060420

Gillette College Women’s Basketball is hanging out the help wanted sign. Head Coach Will "Bunny" Rider announced his resignation to pursue other opportunities on Wednesday.
Under Rider’s leadership over the past 10 years, several Pronghorns have been awarded scholarships to Division 1 programs and another 10 have earned scholarships to Division II institutions.
In 2016, Rider led the Women’s Pronghorns to victory during the Region IX Championship.
Bunny Rider's a Glendo native who coached Douglas LadyCats basketball in the 1980's and early 1990's. Every one of his teams qualified for the state tournament and only twice finished out of the top 3 places. The Bearcats won 3 state titles while playing in 6 title games, 4 of those back to back.
Gillette College will be launching a nationwide search to fill the head coach position this summer, in time for the 2019 – 2020 season. 042919
