About Linsay Sumpter

Sumpter, of La Junta, Colorado, is the head rodeo coach at Otero Junior College. Additionally, she is the newly named Commissioner of the Women’s Rodeo World Championship.

“Rodeo was a genetic default of mine growing up,” Sumter explained. “My grandfather is Cotton Rosser. He’s a ProRodeo Hall of Fame stock contractor—one of the living legends in the business.”
