TYREL REICHERT SIGNS RODEO LETTER OF INTENT AT NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA

Tyrel Reichert, a senior at Rockridge High School, has signed a letter of intent to attend Northwestern Oklahoma State University and participate on the university’s rodeo team.

Tyrel Reichert signs a letter of intent to attend Northwestern Oklahoma State University. With him are his parents, Glenda and Gary Reichert, and Northwestern rodeo coach Tim Kolb (standing).

“We are very pleased that Tyrel decided to attend school here at Northwestern,” said Tim Kolb, rodeo coach. “He will be a tremendous asset to not only the rodeo team, but to the entire Northwestern campus community.”

“Seldom does a cowboy come along that is the type of student that Tyrel is, or one that steer wrestles as well as he does. We are very fortunate to find the two rolled up in one package. I expect him to be very successful both in and out of the arena and to make an immediate impact,” Kolb said.

Northwestern competes in the Central Plains Region of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association.

In addition to steer wrestling, Reichert also competes in the calf roping event. He is the son of Glenda and Gary Reichert of Illinois City, Ill.
