Happy National Coaches Day!

Today, we celebrate the coaches who pour so much more than the sport into their athletes.

To the coaches of Raiders Athletics—and to all the coaches who came before us and those who will come after us—thank you for the countless hours, early mornings, late nights, tough conversations, encouragement, and unwavering commitment you give to your athletes day in and day out.

Coaching is about so much more than wins and losses. It’s about developing athletes, building character, teaching discipline, creating confidence, and being someone your athletes can count on both on and off the court, field, course, or mat.

We are proud of the coaches who represent Three Rivers College and the impact they make on our Raiders and Lady Raiders every single day.

A special shoutout to our TRC Coaching Staff:

🏀 Men’s Basketball — Coach Kirby, Coach Long, and Coach King
🏀 Women’s Basketball — Coach Wiggs, Coach Margenthaler, and Coach Price
⚾ Baseball — Coach Palmer, Coach Lawson, and Coach Burkey
🥎 Softball — Coach Null, Coach Law, and Coach Gwin
🎮 eSports — Coach Alex Jameson
📣 Cheer — Coach CJ Jameson, and Coach Heather King

Thank you for investing in our student-athletes, believing in them, pushing them, and helping shape who they become long after their time at Three Rivers is over.

Happy National Coaches Day from Raiders Athletics! 🖤💛

Three Rivers College is excited to move forward Raider Rodeo Roundup Club proposal

Three Rivers College and the Raider Rodeo Roundup Club have agreed to move forward with a proposal that Raider Rodeo Roundup Club presented at the most recent TRC Board of Trustees meeting on Aug. 26.

“We want them to succeed with all of their goals,” Three Rivers Board of Trustees Chairman Dr. Amber Richardson said. “The Board was impressed by the level of detail and planning that went into this proposal. Success would mean a better future for our students and the community.”

In the proposal, the Raider Rodeo Roundup Club outlined a timeline where they would rebuild the Three Rivers rodeo program into a financially self-supporting program.

“We are committed to working with Three Rivers College and TRC Rodeo, our focus is on building a positive and productive partnership that supports the college, its students, and the future of collegiate rodeo,” said Tara Looney, Raider Rodeo Roundup Club Board Member. “We believe that by working together, communicating openly, and bringing together the support of alumni, community members, businesses, and rodeo supporters, we can help create a strong and sustainable path forward for TRC Rodeo.

The Raider Rodeo Roundup Club committed to annual financial support while Three Rivers would continue to fulfill its role as the sponsoring institution.

“Rodeo runs deep in American history and stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Old West,” said Kristi Baker, Raider Rodeo Roundup Club Board Member. “It celebrates the skills, values, and traditions that shaped a nation and reflects the people of Southeast Missouri!”

“Rodeo has meant a lot to this College and this region over the years,” Three Rivers President Dr. Wesley Payne said. “We’re excited to give Raider Rodeo Roundup Club the opportunity to build something sustainable and show this program can stand on its own.”

“We look forward to working alongside college leadership and the broader community to help bring TRC Rodeo back and build a program that is self-sustaining for years to come,” Looney said.
