From inspiring future rodeo athletes at Youth Rodeo 101, presented by CWI, to lighting up the arena with the Snake River Stampeder Night Light Drill Team, Jessica Smith is making the most of every opportunity.
As a Registered Nursing student at CWI, Jessica balances her education with the activities she loves. During this year's Youth Rodeo 101 Clinic, she shared her story with youth from the Nampa Boys & Girls Club and introduced participants to opportunities within the rodeo community.
Now in her sixth year with the Stampeders, Jessica is preparing to perform in one of the Snake River Stampede's most recognizable traditions. Catch Jessica and the Night Light Drill Team all week at the Ford Idaho Center on CWI's Nampa Campus!
A special thank you to our partners who help create opportunities like these for our students and community: Snake River Stampede, Caldwell Night Rodeo Foundation, PRCA ProRodeo, and Texas Roadhouse. We appreciate your support in making Youth Rodeo 101 and rodeo education experiences possible.
