Gazelle volleyball players attended and competed in a couple team camps last week. A HUGE thank you to Southwest Minnesota State University for a wonderful three-day instructional camp and University of South Dakota for an amazing two-day competitive camp!

The Gazelles Soccer team had a great 4 days of intense training and scrimmages at the BHSU Team Camp. The team had the opportunity to train with a number of college coaches from across the region and were able to challenge themselves vs some of the elite HS teams in Wyoming.
