Kids in Sheridan recently had the chance to work with soccer coaches from across the pond. The Sheridan Press reports British coaches hosted a week long soccer - or, football - camp for kids aged 3 - 12. The kids also learned about British culture and the countries that have won the FIFA World Cup.

In another sport, Gillette’s Little League softball team has become the first from the town to win a game at the regional Little League tournament. The Gillette News Record reports a few teams have traveled to the competition in California, but this was the first win. The girls’ game was also broadcast on ESPN.

Ivy started as a science news intern in the summer of 2019 and has been hooked on broadcast ever since. Her internship was supported by the Wyoming EPSCoR Summer Science Journalism Internship program. In the spring of 2020, she virtually graduated from the University of Wyoming with a B.S. in biology with minors in journalism and business. When she’s not writing for WPR, she enjoys baking, reading, playing with her dog, and caring for her many plants.
