Tarleton women earn Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame induction

The Tarleton State College women’s rodeo team set a historic precedent by winning consecutive national championships in 1969, 1970 and 1971.

Now, the seven women who made up those teams — Karen Walls, Sally Preston, Angie Watts Averhoff, Vicki Higgins Emerson, Connie Wilkinson Wood, Sharon Harrison Youngblood and Martha Tompkins Jordan — are members of the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame induction class of 2020.
