Wyatt proved to be a stand-out during the fall college season by placing 1st in the All Around, 2nd Bareback and 1st in Bull Riding in the Grand Canyon Region.

Coach Jackson Craig is pleased with Wyatt's performance, "He has gained some knowledge about college rodeo. His grades are good at over a 3.0 GPA. He is excited for spring. We have seven rodeos in the spring. I am looking at him doing well."
 
Craig stresses that the rest of the Rodeo Team did doing well with Shaylyn Becenti sitting 6th in Barrel Racing and the other girls making the short go at each rodeo. Craig says everyone is looking forward to the Spring semester rodeo season.
