GOODWELL, Okla. — Oklahoma Panhandle State University Athletics has named rodeo's Helen Poer along with track & field's Xavyer Mosqueda the Mack's Motorsports Aggies of the Week, spanning performances from April 20-26.
Poer continued her incredible run in the breakaway this past weekend at the OPSU "Doc" Gardner Memorial Rodeo as the Gruver, Texas, native went in and dominated the event with a clean sweep. Poer had the best times in both the long and short go, recording a 2.3 and then a 2.9 to give her more than a two-second advantage over the runner-up breakaway roper in the average with a combined time of 5.2 seconds. The Panhandle State Rodeo was the regular season finale for the Central Plains Region, and Poer's 180 individual points during the weekend saw her qualify for the College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) in Casper, Wyoming, this coming June.
Mosqueda and the track & field crew headed to Waxahachie, Texas, this past weekend, competing in the 2026 SAC Outdoor Championships and delivering strong performances. The sophomore and first-year member of the track team saw himself with three top-10 finishes in the discus, hammer and javelin. In the discus, Mosqueda recorded a mark of 34.74 meters, giving him 10th. Onto the hammer, Mosqueda delivered his third-best throw of the season to place fourth with a mark of 39.22 meters. Lastly in the javelin, not only did the Earth, Texas, native see himself on the podium with a third-place finish, but he found himself recording yet another school record with a distance of 47.01 meters. For more perspective, that is 154 feet 3 inches.
