This past Friday was a whirlwind! Thank you to everyone who joined us Friday night to celebrate 125 years of Western. It was a great night and a great reminder of what makes this community so special.

A huge thank you to the City of Gunnison, Gunnison Arts Center, I Bar Ranch, Spallone Construction, Gunnison Police Department, and our incredible student-athlete volunteers for helping bring this celebration to life.

Happy 125th, Western! ❤️ See you at Homecoming!
