Texas A&M Rodeo Club holds its
All-Aggie Alumni Rodeo this weeken
By John Salerno
THE BATTALION
Students rarely turn down a
full ride to Princeton
University, but Kelsey Cox had
her reasons for choosing Texas
A&M instead.
“1 entered my first rodeo the
day I turned three years old. and
it’s always been in the family,
so when I came here (Texas
A&M), it was a given." said
Cox, vice president and rodeo
chair of the Rodeo Club. “1 had
a full ride to Princeton, but my
roots called me back.”
It was that calling that led
Cox to join the A&M Rodeo
Club, a member of the southern
region of the National
Collegiate Rodeo Association,
three years ago. The rodeo club
competes with other colleges in
Texas and Louisiana, among
them McNeese State, Texas
A&M-Kingsville and Sam
Houston State University.
“Each region has 10 rodeos
per year, and five girls and six
guys are chosen for each team."
she said. "We start on a
Thursday and end on a Saturday
night. Women can participate in
three events — barrel racing,
goat tying, and breakaway rop
ing, as well as enter the team-
roping competition with the
guys. Last year. I got $600 and
$300 back to A&M.”
But Cox’s original motiva
tion for participating in rodeos
did not involve prizes.
"The reason I got involved
is because 1 have a great uncle
in the Cowboy Hall of Fame,
and Fve had lots of family go
to the National Finals Rodeo."
Cox said.
Of course, it also helped that
Cox grew up on a ranch in Del
Rio and was exposed to the
lifestyle very early.
“When I was three years
old, I did barrel racing,” Cox
said. “So basically, 1 was trot
ting around the barrels, pretty
much walking!”

Cox’s grandmother helped
found the Women's Professional
Rodeo Association. But Cox is
quick to assert that one does not
need such experience or back
ground to join the Rodeo Club.
“Some of the most important
members are there to help “ she
said. “Anybody can join, and
we welcome anyone.”
This sentiment is echoed by
Nathan Bradford, president of
the Rinleo Club.
“Many members help out
with running the rodeos, work
ing the gates, working in and
out of the arena." Bradford said.
“We have social events through
out the year that they are
involved in. and they can get
into rodeo events for free."
Even without experience,
any student with an interest in
rodeo can join the club. The
club meetings often focus on
working out the upcoming
rodeos, analyzing how well
A&M is doing in the competi
tion and setting up social activi
ties for the members.
"The meeting itself is even a
social event." Bradford said.
Beyond the meetings, mem
bers of the rodeo club meet
every Wednesday night at Dick
Freeman Arena to practice.
“The southern region is one
of the bigger regions, and you
have to be on top of things and
you have to be on the ball to
compete in it." Bradford said.
