Lank attended Sul Ross from 1963 to 1967 and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Range Animal Science. He was involved in the Rodeo Club throughout his Sul Ross years and was on the Rodeo Team from 1965-1967 and competed in Saddle Bronc and Bareback. He was the Saddle Bronc director from 1965-1967. He was also in the Range Management Club, Clip and Brand Club and was on the Wool Judging Team.
Lank has lived a successful life training cutting horse, judging NCHA competitions, and ranching for over 40 years. His never say die spirit embodies all that is great about Sul Ross ANRS & Rodeo Exes. Lank continued training for a decade after having had both knees fully replaced. Only in very recent times has Lank begun to slow down, riding professionally until 2008. Very few trainers last as long or have as many horses wind up as champions and breeders of champions. To meet Lank, you would never know he did anything but ranch. He is as down to earth as they come and as loyal a friend as you will find. He has mentored many young trainers and suffered the loss of two wonderful children, one a very well known NCHA trainer in his own right - John Add Creacy. Lank is well known among cutting horse trainers, ranchers and cattle buyers and is loved by all.
Induction into the Hall of Fame is the highest honor which can be bestowed on an individual by the ANRS & Rodeo Exes Association. This honor is for ANRS graduates or friends and recognizes those who have represented the Association, the ANRS Department, or Sul Ross State University with distinction through their personal and/or professional achievements which brought honor to our University. Nominations may be submitted by any member at any time. The ANRS & Rodeo Exes Board of Directors will periodically review nominations and determines inductees into the Hall of Fame. Inductions are not necessarily held annually, but rather when a sufficient pool of inductees is obtained. The induction ceremony is at the Annual Reunion held the last weekend of July in Alpine.
Make a nomination for a deserving individual for induction into the ANRS & Rodeo Exes Hall of Fame!
There is certainly room among these fine individuals for additional honorees. Please give some consideration to nominating a deserving individual for induction into the Hall of Fame.
