Aiden Tomlin represented the Cowboys from the top of the leaderboard, finishing with a first-place score of 91.

A female gray wolf, released in Colorado in January after being translocated from British Columbia, has made significant movements across the state. She has covered more than 1,230 miles since translocation — an extraordinary display of the species’ natural roaming behavior. “This single wolf’s movement traveled nearly the entire southern line of watersheds on our map,” said Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Wolf Monitoring and Data Coordinator Brenna Cassidy.
