Rock Springs Gears Up for Exciting 2025 Track Season with Brynn Bider in the Spotlight

As the sun begins to shine a little brighter in Rock Springs, the athletes of Rock Springs High School are kicking off their 2025 outdoor track and field season with renewed energy and determination. Among the standouts this year is the talented senior, Brynn Bider, who is making waves in multiple events and setting her sights on new personal achievements.

Training Takes Off

Outdoor track practice officially began on March 10, and the excitement is palpable. After a rocky indoor season where athletes had to train without a proper indoor facility, Bider and her teammates are thrilled to lace up their shoes and hit the actual track. The thrill of practicing outdoors is a welcomed change from the limited options available during the indoor season.

Brynn’s Ambitious Goals

Bider, currently ranked in the 4A top 10 for her events, has big dreams for this season. She aims for a long jump exceeding 18 feet, a mark that would showcase her incredible talent. She also has her sights set on improving her sprinting times in the 100 and 200 meter dashes, where she currently boasts impressive rankings of fifth and eighth in Wyoming 4A, respectively. With a personal best of 12.63 seconds in the 100 meters, Bider is determined to lower that time as the season progresses.

Younger Stars Shine Bright

Freshman sensation Julia Clerk is also making headlines with her remarkable improvement, having just clocked a time of 62 seconds for the 400 meters. Coach Casey Walker highlights that many of the team members are still getting acquainted with the finer details of track and field, making this an exciting time for growth and learning.

Weather Woes and Rescheduling

However, the road hasn’t been entirely smooth as a major outdoor track meet scheduled for the first weekend in April was unfortunately canceled due to severe weather conditions, including wind and sleet. Athletes like senior thrower William Bybee are aware that optimal weather for track events ideally falls in the 70s, making the cancellation a tough blow to those gearing up for the event.

Standout Performances

Despite the weather setbacks, Rock Springs High boasts impressive talent. Senior Dalton Marincic currently leads the boys 100 meter dash with a top time of 11.19 seconds, ranking him ninth in 4A. Meanwhile, Jonas Slater has tied for the second-best boys high jump at an impressive height of 6 feet, 2 inches. Bider’s current long jump of 17 feet, 9.75 inches places her third in the 4A ranking, making her a key player to watch this season.

Upcoming Highlights and Legacy

Looking ahead, conference meets are on the horizon with the 4A West Conference meet taking place on May 16-17. The state 4A track and field meet is set for May 22-24 at Kelly Walsh High School in Casper, an event where Bider has proven herself in previous years. She has qualified for the state championships for three consecutive years and has made a name for herself as a three-time all-conference performer, alongside being a regional long jump champion in 2022.

A Bright Future Ahead

Speaking of future, it was recently announced that Bider has signed with Idaho State University to compete in track and field. The welcoming atmosphere of the campus and the supportive coaching staff made it an easy choice for her. As Bider prepares for her transition to collegiate level competition, she looks forward to majoring in physical education and hopes to pave the way for a future career in coaching.

Conclusion

With the 2025 outdoor track season in full swing and Brynn Bider leading the charge, Rock Springs High School is all set to make a statement. The community can’t wait to see where the season will take these young athletes and how they’ll build upon their successes as they approach some of the season’s biggest challenges.
