The New Mexico Highlands University Rodeo Team invited State Sen. Phil Griego to campus Aug. 19 to formally thank him for his support during the 2010 legislative session.
Griego’s legislative advocacy resulted in a $100,000 legislative appropriation that allowed the university’s rodeo team to continue.
“I’m very grateful for Sen. Griego’s support of the rodeo team,” said Rodeo Coach Jon Peek, who is now in his third year coaching at Highlands.“He also provided useful ideas about how to reach new heights with the program. Our university president, Jim Fries, has also shown his belief in our rodeo program, which we greatly appreciate.”
