STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS—A Tarleton State University professor and two Stephenville Independent School District (SISD) physical education instructors recently spoke about a collaborative fitness effort at a convention in Austin.
Dr. Joe Gillespie, Jill Heupel and Wade Whitehead were invited to speak about FITNESSGRAM, a partnership between Stephenville ISD and Tarleton, at the Texas Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance Convention in Austin on Feb. 9.
The fitness collaboration began during the 1980s with Gillespie taking his Tests and Measurements class to Gilbert Intermediate School to assist the public schools with health-related fitness testing.
Senate Bill 530 was passed in 2008 and mandated that all public schools in the state assess the health-related fitness of students in grades three through 12. SISD and Tarleton have been the leaders in the state with the implementation of the law, and many surrounding school districts have looked to the collaboration for assistance.
Heupel, Whitehead, Mary Pack, Emma Jimenez, D’Anna Green and Mike Carroll from SISD have worked with Tarleton students to implement the program.
For many years, students in Dr. Gillespie’s class have administered the FITNESSGRAM to all students in grades four through six. Now, the collaboration involves second through 12th grade.
Following testing of students, a fitness report card is issued for each public school student.
Developed by the Cooper Institute in Dallas, the FITNESSGRAM test measures three areas of fitness: aerobic capacity, body composition, muscle strength, endurance and flexibility. The test results help parents and physical education teachers identify students whose poor fitness may compromise their heath and education.

STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS—The Coy L. Watson Class of 1939 Endowed Fund was created to benefit students from Young County, Texas, who are studying geoscience or agriculture.
Watson, a Tarleton State University alumnus, bequeathed $48,000 to the Tarleton State University Foundation, Inc. in memory of his parents Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Watson and family of loved ones. The Tarleton Foundation is a public non-profit organization established in 1978 to provide financial assistance to Tarleton primarily from earnings on endowed funds, gifts or property. The Foundation acts independently of the university and The Texas A&M University System solely for the benefit of Tarleton.
“Through collaborative efforts between Tarleton and the Tarleton Foundation, we are able to ensure the donors’ philanthropic wishes are achieved while providing greater financial opportunities for our students,” said Sabra Guerra, Tarleton’s director of development.
The Coy L. Watson Class of 1939 endowment will benefit full-time Tarleton students based on financial need with preference given to students who are graduates of a high school located in Young County, which includes Bunger, Eliasville, Graham, Jean, Loving, Markley, Murray, Newcastle, Olney, Padgett, Proffitt, South Bend and Twin Mountains.

STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS—The Tarleton State University Rodeo Program and Wranglers are hosting the 13th annual Shawn McMullan Memorial Calf Roping and Breakaway Roping on Feb. 22. The event will be held at the Tarleton practice arena just off the Lingleville Highway in Stephenville.
This event is held each year in honor of Shawn McMullan, a well-known and loved Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) tie-down roper. Unfortunately, McMullan was tragically killed in a car accident while traveling from one rodeo to another. He was known for being polite, friendly and a real credit to the sport of rodeo.
McMullan attended Odessa College and Tarleton on rodeo scholarships before entering into the professional ranks of rodeo. In 1996, he was awarded the “Fan’s Favorite Cowboy.” In his short rodeo career he won championship titles at Houston, El Paso, San Angelo, and Calgary as well qualifying for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) several times.
Each year proceeds from the memorial roping help the Tarleton rodeo program provide a scholarship to a timed-event cowboy or cowgirl in memory of Shawn McMullen. Recipient must maintain full-time student status (12 or more semester hours) and be an active member of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association.
Bob Doty, Tarleton’s former rodeo coach, reported that during the 12th annual Shawn McMullan Memorial Roping and Lady Wrangler Breakaway Roping had 138 cowboys and cowgirls participate at this event, which added $5,000 to the school’s rodeo funds.
Every year, the McMullen Roping brings in many World Champion PRCA calf ropers, NFR qualifiers, Texas Circuit Champions, College National Finals Rodeo qualifiers and even National High School Finals Rodeo qualifiers. Previous event champions include such top names as Cody Ohl, Trent Walls, Terry Kitchens, Timber Moore, Bill Warner, Jeff Yates, Tim Pharr, Bradley Bynum, Joseph Gernatz, Jennifer Smith-Driver, JJ Hampton, Jill Childers-Jameson, Kylee Burris and Shelby Smith.
In 2008, Stephenville was the proud home to both the tie-down roping and breakaway champions. Timber Moore won the tie-down roping average and collected more than $3,600 and with a bronze sculpture. Shelby Smith won the breakaway roping and won $1,100 as well as a buckle.
The event has $1,000 in added money and the average winner will receive a David Barnes tie-down roping saddle. The tie-down roping format will be two head and a short round for $350.
The breakaway roping has $500 dollars in added money and a buckle to the average winner. The breakaway roping format will be two head and a short round for $180. New this year, the Equibrand Corporation will donate Classic Equine and Rattler ropes as prizes in both ropings.
The rodeo program would also like to thank all of its sponsors: Stephenville Chamber, Cowboy Times, Wrangler, Walco, Capital Hatters, Allflex USA, The Ewing Family and Equibrand Corporation.
