RANGELY I The CNCC rodeo program won a regional award during the Rocky Mountain region’s year-end voting. All 11 of the colleges in the Rocky Mountain region vote on various awards, and the CNCC “Spartan Showdown” rodeo won the award for the “Most Improved Rodeo of the Year.” This was a really fun surprise for the CNCC rodeo team/program. “We worked hard and felt like we did a good job with our rodeo production, but to have it recognized by the rest of the college rodeo competitors and coaches was especially nice,” said CNCC Rodeo Coach Tammy Olson. “The CNCC rodeo program owes the continuity of the program to our athletic director, Candra Robie. She is the reason. Period. She does a great job of leading the entire athletic department, in general, with enthusiasm and total commitment. And she is ‘all in’ with our rodeo program, supporting its continued growth 100%. We are proud to have earned this award, and we thank Candra for leading the CNCC rodeo program through the years.”
