Congratulations to our CMU Rodeo Graduate Erica Blum 🎓 Here is a word from Erica:

“Hi! My name Erica Blum and I’m graduating with a Bachelors in Business Management. My plans after graduation is staying here in GJ and getting married to my fiancé Nathan Jones!

I have a ton of memories with this team and one of them that comes to mind is when I won the long go with a 2.8 in the breakaway my junior year.

And all the bonding memories between skydiving, floating the river, late night ice cream runs, team dinners, and so many more!

So many memories that I’ll cherish forever!”

Congratulations to our CMU Rodeo Graduate Wylee Mitchell 🎓 Here is a word from Wylee:

“Hey what’s up it’s Wy! I am from Pioche, Nevada and compete in barrel racing, team roping, goat tying and breakaway. I’m graduating with a bachelors degree in Mass Communication and a certification in Digital Filmmaking.

It’s so hard for me to pick one favorite CMU Rodeo memory… but I think one of the best had to be the year Gus and I won the region in the barrel racing and he was voted Horse of the Year!

Being a part of the team the past four years has been an amazing experience and I’m so thankful for all the friends and family I’ve made along the way ♥️”

Congratulations to our CMU Rodeo Graduate Josie Roselle 🎓 Here is a word from Josie:

“Hi! I’m from Greeley, Colorado, and I compete in barrel racing and breakaway roping. I’m graduating from Colorado Mesa University with my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing. After graduation, I’ll be moving back to my hometown of Greeley to start my career as a float pool nurse.

My favorite CMU Rodeo memory has to be playing in the mud at the rodeo in Craig. As always, it was raining and cold but I had so much fun making the best out of the weather with my teammates.

I’m really thankful for my time on the CMU Rodeo Team and the people it brought into my life.”
