LAUREN MILLER SIGNS RODEO LETTER AT NORTHWESTERN

            Lauren Miller, a senior at Harrisonville High School, has signed a National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) letter of intent to attend Northwestern Oklahoma State University and participate with the Ranger rodeo team.

            Miller will compete in breakaway roping and barrel racing.

 “We are very happy to have Lauren at Northwestern,” said Tim Kolb, rodeo coach. “She has a great work ethic, practicing and competing with an intensity we seldom see in a student-athlete. I expect her to make an immediate impact on our rodeo team and the entire region.”

Northwestern competes in the Central Plains Region of NIRA and each fall produces its own three-day intercollegiate rodeo.
