Laramie High School’s track pipeline stayed close to home Tuesday evening when seniors Flynn Arnold and AJ Sirdoreus signed to continue their careers at the University of Wyoming, giving Albany County a pair of local athletes headed from 1275 N. 11th St. to the state’s flagship campus.

The timing underscores how quickly the Class of 2026 is moving on. Arnold and Sirdoreus ended school last Friday and are scheduled to graduate this Friday, closing out a spring in which both seniors gave Laramie High a major presence on the state stage. Arnold finished his prep career as a four-time champion at the Wyoming Class 4A Outdoor Track and Field Championships, while Sirdoreus placed second in the triple jump.

Arnold arrives at UW as a 400-meter specialist with a deep sprint resume. His recruiting profile lists personal bests of 47.74 seconds in the 400 meters, 22.26 in the 200 and 11.28 in the 100, numbers that show the kind of speed that can score in individual events and relay pools. The profile also says he has maintained at least a 3.5 GPA while taking honors and AP classes, a combination that reflects the academic side of the path he built at Laramie High as well as the one he built on the track.

Sirdoreus brings a different profile, one that adds range for UW in the jumps and short sprint work. His MileSplit profile lists bests of 6.83 in the 55 meters, 22 feet, 6.25 inches in the long jump and 46-3 in the triple jump. That triple jump mark fits with the runner-up finish he posted at state and gives the Cowboys a multi-event athlete with clear horizontal-jump strength.

The signings also matter beyond the two athletes themselves. Laramie High’s 2026 track season produced multiple standout performances and kept the school in the mix at the state level, giving younger athletes in the program a visible example of what can grow from a county program and end at UW. That hometown-to-state route, built by coaches, teammates and families around the Laramie program, gives local runners and jumpers a concrete goal: stay in Wyoming, develop in Albany County and take the next step just down the road in Laramie.
