Wyoming Strongman Team Drops Out Before National Finals

Wyoming is chock full of strong men and women!

But you already knew that.

Wyoming has a strongman team and they are kicking butt in National Competitions

Did you know that Team Wyoming has advanced to the finals in the Strongest State competition scheduled later this year in Tallahassee, Florida?

The competition was scheduled for February 17, 2024.

Yes, Wyoming has a Strongman team and they were looking good this year and on their way to national aclaim.

Unfortunately, it was not meant to be.

Team member Porshia Birdsley, who you see in the photo above, just posted this unfortunate note on her timeline;

The Wyoming Strongman Team will NOT be going to the finals. With 2 of our men unable to go & 1 injury, it’s just not there for us to attend! Thanks for all the encouragement from everyone.

Team members include:
Captain & SHW: Cj Allen - Douglas, Wy
SHW: Mitch Godwin - Sheridan, Wy
105 KG: Casey Barby - Sheridan, Wy
90 KG: Larry Lloyd - Glenrock, Wy
Woman: Porshia Birdsley - Thermopolis, Wy
Woman: Mary Dorsett - Thermopolis, Wy

What a shame. They were looking good.

Their many supporters filled the Facebook page with compliments and well wishes.

Teams that had made the finals were from Florida, Wyoming, and New York.

They were starting the search for sponsors to help get them to the next few competitions.

Maybe next year.

Porshia Birdsley has dedicated much of her FaceBook page to the competition.

They have time to rest, heal, and start thinking about what they need to do to get ready for next year.

She also has a nice gallery of the team in action and posing for pictures at this link.
