Bartlett, a senior who has
been in the program since the
beginning of the 2019-2020
school year said, <It was a
really fun experience. It was
my first time actually per-
forming in front of a crowd,
so it was a new experience for
me, but it was fun.=
Bartlett performed an orig-
inal entitled <Rumors= with
freshmen Jessica Dunn.
< F lig h t A tten d an ce,=
<Rumors,= and all the other
songs performed at the assem-
bly were a big hit among stu-
dents. August McKeown, a
senior, said he enjoyed <get-
ting to see people you know
and speak with every day
show what they9re capable
of in a way we haven9t seen
before.=
Another senior, Quinlan
Crowe, said she enjoyed <the
quality music put on by our
high school students.=
The teachers, many of
whom enjoyed the many per-
formances, felt the assem-
bly was well-received by the
student body. Social studies
teacher, Gail Greaney, said
that she <enjoyed it, and no
one was on their phones=
in the audience, something
<That means winter eve-
ning practice on those cold
dark days and trailering horses
after practice in the dark, so
it really requires true com-
mitment from the kids,= she
said. <Having to deal with a
live animal makes this a much
more complicated sport since
every person is also dealing
with another athlete: their
horse,= she added.
<The kids9 performances
in this first meet definitely
exceeded my expectations,=
said Winter, who is in her
third year as the head coach.
She is assisted by Lori
Kennedy and Dave Jones.
Support from parents is
key to this sport, and Winter
wanted to thank all of the
team parents for their help.

difficult to achieve at a high
school assembly. Art teacher
Bethany Gunnarson said that
<the majority of the student
body were really attentive,
and I didn9t hear anyone
being disrespectful, so I think
they were pretty impressed
overall.= Math teacher Kristy
Rawls was impressed by the
Americana Project assembly
as well, and said she <appre-
ciated the way Brad [Tisdel]
set up the assembly, and the
music was written really
well.=
Johnson had said that the
goal for the assembly was
<allowing the Americana
Project students to show how
incredible the Americana
Project is and showcase their
music.=
When asked if he felt such
a goal was achieved, Johnson
said he thought the assembly
<was amazing, I9m incredibly
proud of all the students.=
A Partnership
Beyond Your
Expectations
With so many events to pre-
pare for, time is precious at
the four team practices held
each week. In addition team
members do conditioning
with their animals outside of
regular practice times.
Winter also has special
thanks to Kerry Newall and
Julie Vosberg for the use of
their facility, since the team
practices indoors. Mike Pinto
of JGW ranch also has made
that arena available to the
team, for which she is very
grateful.
<The support these people
provide for the kids is actu-
ally beyond generous,= said
Winter.
Next up for the Outlaws
is a meet on March 20-22
at Brasada Ranch. Winter
encourages people to come
and watch.
<Who knows, you might
get to witness something
you9ve never seen before, like
a two-person birangle or a
Canadian flag race,= she said.
