Western US High School Alpine Championships (posted 4/6/2026)
Jeff Wohl
The 2026 Western US High School Skiing Championships took place March 15–18, at Loveland Ski Area in Colorado.

Seven Pinedale athletes joined with alpine skiers from around the state to represent Team Wyoming at the Championships. This year’s meet was held at the Loveland Basin Ski Area in Colorado, where athletes competed in Giant Slalom (GS), the faster event with larger turns, and Slalom (SL) with short, powerful turns. The team competed against some of the top skiers in the United States.

Pinedale had a particularly strong showing, making up over a quarter of the selected athletes for Team Wyoming.

Team Wyoming had a very solid finish, coming in sixth out of nine teams. Many of these teams are from areas with better access to ski racing, much larger high schools, and more funding.

Notable results for Pinedale athletes were:

In Men's Slalom:
Garret Saunders was 18th fastest in one run.
Case Ingle finished the slalom in 27th place.
Dude McCartney skied to a 36th on his first run.
Grant Carter finished a very solid 39th.

In Women's Slalom:
Addison Davis finished 51st.
Ellie Tolson had two great runs going, but had to hike and finish the day at 53rd.

Men’s Giant Slalom:
Garrett Saunders skied to a 37th.
Grant Carter finished the day 55th.
Case Ingle was 62nd.
Dune McCartney was skiing a blistering place, but ended up crashing.

Women’s Giant Slalom:
Ellie Tolson took 51st.
Addison Davis came in 67th.
Roxy Melinkovich took 78th.

Coach Jeff Wohl from Pinedale was able to attend and help coach all the athletes of Team Wyoming. Jeff said "I’m extremely proud of how all these athletes skied against some incredibly tough competition. This fine group of athletes conducted themselves in a very professional, polite, and respectful manner, and had a lot of fun. The teams that we competed against this week are extremely strong, with athletes who are truly ranked at the top for all skiers of their age. Many of the skiers not only race high school, but also on the club circuit and come from programs with far greater resources than our Wyoming athletes. For us to show up and finish as well as we did is truly a great accomplishment."

"The Pinedale team continues to grow in depth. We have a very strong group of skiers coming up and, I feel, in a few years, we’ll be in a place to even be competitive at a race of this caliber.

We, as a team, will continue fundraising so we can bring athletes to events like this. Next year the western high school championships will be held in Northern Minnesota, on the shores of Lake Superior. We hope to have the funding to be able to bring a full team again next year.

We would like to thank all in the community who have come forward to support these fine athletes through this incredible ski season, and look forward to seeing what they can do in the future. We would like to add a special thank you to Kelly Cornell, who supported not only Pinedale, but all Team Wyoming athletes. Thank you Kelly!"

Keegan Gehlhausen becomes an NCAA Division Wrestling All-American (posted 3/19/2026)
Con Marshall, Chadron State College
Chadron State College senior Gehlhausen of Pinedale, Wyoming, was the 184-pound runner-up at the NCAA Division II National Wrestling Tournament in 2025, and clinched his second All-American honor and a top-four nationals finish by winning his first two matches on Friday the 13th March at the National Tournament at Sioux Falls, South Dakota on March 13 and 14, 2026.

That’s when he decisioned Brad Mayse of Grand Valley State in Michigan 12-5 and won 5-3 over Pat Jackson of Gannon in Pennsylvania on a takedown with just 17 seconds left in the quarterfinal tussle.

Gehlhausen’s third foe of the tourney the next day was Darion Johnson of McKendree in Illinois. They had met in the semifinals at the Midwest Classic in December with Gehlhausen winning 8-5.

This time Johnson prevailed, although the match was closer than the 12-2 major decision score indicates. Gehlhausen trailed 5-2 late and, in his desperation to find a match-tying takedown, attacked, but he was prone to Johnson’s strong counter attack which allowed Johnson to earn three points for a takedown plus a four-point near-fall in the final seconds. Johnson went on to win the 184-pound national championship in dominating fashion, beating Central Missouri’s Damon Ashworth by a 17-2 tech fall.

Gehlhausen rebounded in his next match, defeating Nebraska-Kearney’s Kaden Hart for the third time this season by a 6-4 score to advance to the third-place bout. Waiting there was Colorado Mines’ Wyatt Reisz, who won the clash by a 10-5 decision.

Gehlhausen is now Chadron State’s fifth grappler to win two All-American honors, joining Mike Max, Tony Dammen, Jeff Rusher and Brett Hunter, the Chadron State head wrestling coach and a two-time national champion. Bob Waldner, Josh Majerus and Travis McDermott have won the honor three times. Dammen was from Cody, Wyoming, and McDermott has lived in Thermopolis most of his life. Keegen finished his senior season with an 18-3 record.

Gehlhausen’s results at Nationals:
184—Keegan Gehlhausen, CSC, dec. Bradley Mayse, Grand Valley, 12-5; Gehlhausen dec. Patrick Johnson, Gannon, 5-3; Darion Johnson, McKendree, major dec. Gehlhausen 12-2; Gehlhausen dec. Kaden Hart, UNK, 6-4; Wyatt Reisz, Colorado Mines, dec.Gehlhausen10-5 for third place.

Gehlhausen’s career records:
2022-23—16-12. He qualified for Nationals and was named the Region 6 Freshman of the Year.
2023-24—9-4. Missed the first half of the season while recovering from shoulder surgery at the end of his freshman season.
2024-25—22-3. Won Region 6 184-pound title and was runner-up at Nationals.
2025-26—18-3. Won Region 6 184-pound title and placed fourth at Nationals.

65-22 career record. One was Chadron State’s five two-time All-Americans. Three others were three-time All-Americans.

Keegan was a three-time state tournament champion when he was at Pinedale High School.
