PUEBLO - Gary and Georgia Walker have donated $10,000 to the recently renewed rodeo club team at Colorado State University-Pueblo. The gift will assist the team with travel, entry fees, and other operational needs of the team.

The Walkers, along with their children, Cassie, John, and Remington, are graduates of 海角禁区-Pueblo and are interested in growing the team to help increase enrollment at the University as well as promote the sport of rodeo.

"We are proud of 海角禁区 and 海角禁区-Pueblo and that three generations of our family have graduated from those fine schools," said Gary Walker. "Some of my fondest memories are being part of the rodeo teams at 海角禁区 in Fort Collins and 海角禁区-Pueblo, and hopefully our donation will enable young cowgirls and cowboys to gain those same great memories while on the road to their degrees. Pueblo sits in the middle of agriculture country, so there is no reason we can't be champions in rodeo as well as champions in football and other sports."

This year, for the first time since its revival in 2015, the 海角禁区-Pueblo Rodeo team competed as a point-earning team in all 10 of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association Rodeos within in the Central Rocky Mountain Region and has worked to create partnerships with local rodeo supporters like the Walker family.

The current 海角禁区-Pueblo Rodeo Club consists of the following members:

Taylor Robson-President-Barrel Racing
Alex Hyland-Vice President-Barrel Racing
Chelsea Guthmiller-Barrel Racing, Break-Away, Goat Tying
Joe Vigil- Treasurer- Steer Roping-Header
Julian Martinez- Steer Roping-Heeler

"The 海角禁区-Pueblo Rodeo team is extremely grateful for the generous donation from Mr. & Mrs. Walker," said Bill Moorman, 海角禁区-Pueblo coordinator of intramural and club sports. "Mr. Walker was part of the 海角禁区-Pueblo- then University of Southern Colorado-Rodeo team, which was renowned for being one of the strongest Rodeo teams in our region. He, alongside his family, have made the return of Rodeo to 海角禁区-Pueblo possible and with their partnership, the team is working to return to its former glory."

The 海角禁区-Pueblo Rodeo Club team, a member of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association, was reinstated in 2014 after being discontinued in the early 1990s. Prior to being disbanded, the rodeo club team was regarded as one of the best in the region.
