National Championships

July 16, 2025

Cashton Weidenbener competes at the College National Finals Rodeo, riding a horse in motion while wearing a cowboy hat, blue checkered shirt, jeans, and boots, with spectators watching from the bleachers.

Weatherford College team roper Cashton Weidenbener recently brought home a national championship from the 2025 College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming. In its distinguished program history, the WC rodeo team has produced five individual national champions and one women’s team national championship in 2022.

National championships are a mark of excellence at the highest levels of collegiate athletics. At Weatherford College, these national championships are just one of several manifestations of an institutional culture of excellence. Whether you are talking about excellence in academics, world class fine and performing arts programs, astounding athletic accomplishments, or most importantly, caring relationships with our students, our institutional culture of excellence drives success.

Discipline is also a fundamental characteristic of our institutional culture of excellence. The same discipline that leads to success in the classrooms also leads to success on the competition surfaces…and in life. We had a record number of 61 academic All-American athletes this year at Weatherford College. Our student athletes succeeded academically at even higher levels than our general student population.

WC is not the fastest growing college in north Texas by accident. We are successful in athletics, the arts, in academics, and in everything we do. This success comes from discipline, hard work, and exceptional governance by the WC Board of Trustees. Prospective students, faculty, and staff all want to be part of our winning team. The secret of Weatherford College is out.

As both a proud alumnus and humble member of our incredible team, I am extremely excited about the bright future of WC! Out best days lie ahead. We offer five bachelor’s degrees and a myriad of other educational opportunities all in a safe, traditional college experience environment. There is no better place on Earth to earn a high-quality education at an affordable price than at Weatherford College. 

Tod Allen Farmer

President, Weatherford College
