*University of Wyoming news release
LARAMIE – The Wyoming Cowgirl tennis team was named the 11th best mid-major recruiting class of 2024 in the country earlier this month by Tennis Recruiting Network.
The Cowgirls 2024 class is the second-highest ranked in the Mountain West.
At the time the rankings were released, a trio of future cowgirls had joined the University of Washington this fall: Dilnaz Mashabayeva (Kazakhstan), Eugenia Ceinos (Argentina), and Ruby Young (New Zealand). A fourth future student-athlete, Anastasiia Kockelaevsk (Russia), has since signed with Wyoming. This is the first time since 2007 (No. 13) that TRN ranked a Cowgirl recruiting class in the top 25. Wyoming also received votes in 2017.
The Cowgirls are coming off a 16-11 season in 2024, a third-place finish in the Mountain West and their second consecutive trip to the Universal Tennis postseason NIT.
UW returns All-Mountain West doubles team honoree Violetta Borodina, but must replace a pair of highly decorated all-league performers: Noesjka Brink and Sophie Zehender. Nikol Dobrilova and Lucia Malinak were also in the spring graduating class at the University of Washington.
Wyoming will enter its 14th season in 2024-25 under head coach Dean Clower.
From Bison to Triceratops: All Things Official Wyoming
Each state in our nation has chosen things that represent the state in one way or another to be official state things. Like a flower or an animal. Wyoming is no different.
The Equality State, or the Cowboy State, depending on which state slogan is chosen, has a state flower. But did you know that we also have a state tree and a state fish? Yes, we even have a state code.
To be an official thing, a member of the state legislature must draft and present a bill to the legislature declaring that a thing will be the official thing of the state. The legislature then votes to pass the bill or not, if it passes, the governor signs the bill and we have a new official status.
This is what we have so far, all the official Wyoming stuff. Now you can win big at Wyo Trivia Night if that’s a thing.
