Welcome!

We are sending our best wishes for a Happy New Year – a year full of sport, competition and comradery. Organizers are making plans for the Wyoming Senior Summer Olympics 2024, which will be a qualifying year for the 2025 Summer National Senior Games in Des Moines, Iowa.
​
Once more, congratulations to the 15 athletes who represented Wyoming in last July’s Summer National Senior Games in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
​
The 2024 Wyoming Senior Summer Olympics will feature an exciting format. Details, dates and venues will be available as soon as possible, depending on confirmation of venues. The Wyoming Senior Summer Olympics will be held from July 31 - August 4, 2024 in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
​
Coming out of COVID, we continue to be grateful for all the resilience shown this past 3 years. Thanks to our WSO Board of Directors, the winter and summer games event organizers and sports commissioners for their continued support as well as the sports organizations who have provided guidance for all of us.
​
The WSO Board continues to meet and discuss challenges, including visibility, athlete attendance, availability of venues, raising costs, increased insurance requirements and lack of volunteers to help with events. Thanks to all of you who have contributed funds this past year to the Wyoming Senior Olympics.

Brief History
Between 1986 and 2019, Wyoming Senior Olympics (WSO) was produced by a non-profit organization that used the services of the recreation departments of hosting cities to create the yearly event. When the City of Cheyenne experienced financial difficulties in 2020-2021, the city cut funding for the WSO organization. Therefore, the Wyoming Senior Olympics were not produced in 2020-2021. In the fall of 2021, the Board of Directors hired an Executive Director and worked toward a new direction of hosting the WSO without the assistance of the City Recreation Department. This board met several challenges during 2022 and 2023. However, with board determination and sponsorship support, they produced a successful event in 2023. And look forward to continuing the growth of the Wyoming Senior Olympics throughout Wyoming for years to come.
