Athletics

Athletics at Hot Springs County High School, as well as Thermopolis Middle School, compete under the moniker of the Thermopolis Bobcats. The Bobcats colors are purple and gold.

The Bobcats track & field and football programs play their games at LeRoy Hayes Field, dedicated for former Wyoming Coaches Association Board President, 3A Wrestling Coach of the Year and Assistant Football Coach of the Year ^[5] LeRoy Hayes. The unofficial capacity of LeRoy Hayes Field sits at 1,370 spectators, and the playing surface consists of natural grass. ^[6] The facility also makes use of restrooms and concession stands, which can be found on the north end of the stadium.

The Bobcats play their volleyball, girls basketball, boys basketball, and wrestling games inside of the school's gymnasium. The facility underwent a renovation to the court surface in the summer of 2023.

As of the 2024 WHSAA class realignment, the Bobcats athletic programs compete in WHSAA Class 2A for all sports. Prior to 2024, the Bobcats were in Class 3A for volleyball, basketball, and track and field, and were only in Class 2A for football, cross-country, and wrestling.
