🤠 A Poke Legacy…

Incoming freshman, Alex Poole, brings more than just her breakaway roping talent to McNeese State University. She continues a legacy of the Poole name. Her father, DeWitt Poole, was one of our athletes - CNFR qualifier in 1990 and 1992 & the Southern Region Champion Steer Wrestler in 1992.

The McNeese Rodeo Legacy runs deep. We are proud and appreciative of the families of rodeo athletes that choose our program.
