Wyoming’s 100-victory club is exclusive. So far, only 23 coaches have won 100 games in their Equality State careers.

Glenrock’s Ray Kumpula could be the 24th with two victories in the 2014 season.

Kumpula, who coached the Herders from 1990-96 and since 2002, has a career record of 98-74, and is on the cusp of joining a club that only four other active coaches have joined. The coaches who have achieved the 100-victory mark are listed below:
