Hi Karyn & welcome to the Community!
I've moved this great spider to arthropods for you.
Hi Karyn and welcome to Project Noah! This is an impressive spider and a great first spotting!
I believe this is a male (the abdomen is small comparitively). Though it's hard to say for certain, I think this fellow looks quite similar to Lycosa musgravei. How big was the spider? It looks quite large.
There isn't as much online for ID help as I had hoped but I did find these:

This spotting should be moved to the "Arthropods" section. The "Other" section is for a variety of organisms including snails, slugs, starfish, clams, worms and such that don't fit in the other categories.
Welcome again and I look forward to seeing more of your submissions!
