The WOSC Rodeo Team hung up their rodeo gear last weekend and put on their working gloves to help pro-duce Aaron and Ed’s 3rd Annual Rumble on the Red High School Rodeo. The two-day rodeo was held at the Great Plains Stampede Arena, which was actually split to accom-modate this large event that boasted 800 plus entries. With the two arenas showcasing action continuously through-out the day, the event ran smoothly and efficiently.

In addition to the high school rodeo, the Rodeo Team held open jackpots Friday and Saturday after the main event. These added ropings lasted well into the night, since the number of entries was high as competitors from across Oklahoma and northern Texas came to support the cause. Not only was this jackpot a major fundraiser, it also pro-vided an opportunity for our own rodeo athletes to com-pete in the community they call home for nine months out of the year, and they didn’t disappoint.

Ten of Western’s rodeo athletes left the arena with pock-ets full of winnings. Dylan Gordon had a great weekend, winning first and second in the open team roping jackpot that was held Friday night. He also won the #11 team rop-ing with teammate Jesse Loughridge. Clayton Nettleship was also a big winner, taking home the high money heeler buckle in Friday’s team roping jackpot. Also placing well in the team roping jackpots, was Ben Whiddon. For the ladies, Cheyenne Budvarson won the goat tying jackpot. Combined, various members of the rodeo team earned ap-proximately $11,000 at the Friday and Saturday jackpots!

After a weekend of working and jackpots, the rodeo team is ready to hit the college rodeo trail and continue to work towards the goal of earning a spot at the College National Finals Rodeo. This coming weekend, the team will travel to Durant to the rodeo hosted by Southeastern Oklahoma State University.

tional and global levels has fueled this evolution. The vari-ous mandates encouraged by these entities have resulted in a powerful relationship between health promotion and the profession of nursing. The simple awareness, motivation and support from the nursing community for the general populations have resulted in numerous lifestyle changes and, overall, optimal health. As a result, the Nursing Club of Western Oklahoma State College wants to partner with local donors in an effort to amplify both health and well-ness within our local Western Oklahoma community.

The Western Nursing Club is currently seeking spon-sorship from local businesses and organizations within our Western Oklahoma community. The donations received will help to finance event expenses. In return for their gen-erous donations, the Campus Cruise t-shirts given to each race participant will proudly display the names of each sponsor

5th Annual Campus Cruise 5K is April 12th! Western Rodeo Team Helps Rumble on the

Red and Wins Big

the story follows bright young Dr. Frankenstein as he at-tempts to complete his grandfather's masterwork and bring a corpse to life. Together with his oddly shaped and endearing helper Igor and his curvaceous lab assistant Inga, and in spite of his incredibly self-involved madcap fiancé Elizabeth, Frankenstein succeeds in creating a mon-ster -- but not without scary and quite often hilarious com-plications.

Lead roles for the musical went to Roy Redman, “Dr. Frankenstein; Steven Burns, “The Monster”’; Marc Sandi-fur “Igor”; Morgan Gover, “Inga”; Tarryn Mackey, “Eliza-beth; Mikayla Jo Balderas, “Frau Blucher”; Nova Knowles, “Inspector Kemp”; Devin Huckaby, “Dr. Victor F.”; Juan Lopez ‘The Hermit”; and Lindsay Barnes, “Ziggy”. The mu-sical ensemble includes Lamiea Ezell, Anna Harter, Shar-lotte Hightower, Catherine Lindner, Lynlee Prince, Andee Pruitt, Joanne Roberts, and Katharine Schaaf. Sheila Row-land is backstage prop crew.

With such memorable tunes as “The Transylvania Ma-nia,” “He Vas My Boyfriend” and “Puttin’ On The Ritz,” The New MEL BROOKS Musical YOUNG FRANKEN-STEIN is scientifically-proven, monstrously good enter-tainment…and the only place you’ll witness a singing and dancing laboratory experiment in the largest tuxedo ever made.” Reference: http://www.youngfrankensteinthemu-sical.com/about-the-show.
