Cowboy Joe Club News. . .
Many, many thanks to the Ford Motor Company for its title sponsorship of the 2012 Cowboy Joe Club Golf Series. A sincere thanks also to Laramie GM Auto Center and Infinity Power and Controls for donating the pickup which will be raffled at the Air Force game on Oct. 13. Also thanks to the many local sponsors who participated. Between the golf tournaments and the truck raffle, a total of $226,000 was raised for student-athlete scholarships, which is an all-time record! That success is due in large part to those sponsorships. The Series grows each year. Remember you can still purchase raffle tickets for the truck through the Cowboy Joe Club office. Tickets can be purchased in the following increments: one for $20, three for $50, seven for $100 or 12 for $150.
If you would like to attend the Cowboy tailgate party at Austin prior to the Texas game, please visit here. Tickets are $25 each if you order prior to Aug. 24, and $35 each after that. The party will start three-and-a-half hours before the game.
The Cowboy Joe Club Auction, presented by Infinity Power and Controls will be here before you know it. It's scheduled for Sept. 7, at Cheyenne's Little America. It's always a great event and to learn more about the 26th annual edition or to donate auction items, contact the Club office at 307-766-6242.

Cowboy offensive center Nick Carlson is receiving a lot of preseason attention. He is on the Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List as well as the Rimington Trophy Fall Watch List. He's a good football player, and an even better person.
Chris Pendleton, Cowboy assistant wrestling coach, also has received his share of recognition. He is one of a select few coaches who have been chosen to attend a coaching leadership academy next month. The academy is hosted by the National Wrestling Coaches Association.
Congrats to the Wyoming swim team for earning more academic honors. As a team the Cowgirls earned a College Swimming Coaches Association of America Scholar All-America honor while four individuals received the Scholar All-America award. The four are Brandon Fischer, Trevor LeValley, Jayce Calhoon and Morgan Hartigan.
In less than a month--Aug. 14 to be exact--the fall sports season opens with the soccer team's exhibition against Colorado School of Mines. That event will begin at 4:30 p.m. The Cowgirls, guided by new head coach Peter Cuadrado, open the regular season at home on Aug. 17, with Montana (4:30 p.m.) and Lamar on Aug. 19 (1 p.m.).
Volleyball begins its season with the Uni-Wyo Federal Credit Union Wyoming Invitational on Aug. 24.
