2x National Champion Caroline Hamm / Ranger Rodeo Spring '26 outlook

Caroline Hamm, a two-time NJCAA national champion with the Northwest Mississippi Community College Women’s Soccer program, joins this episode of the Bank First Ranger Hour to reflect on a remarkable run in Senatobia and what comes next. Hamm shares her journey from Saltillo High School—where she won back-to-back state championships and earned MVP honors—to becoming a key part of a Northwest squad that has won 40 of its last 45 matches. She also talks about the relationships and personal growth that shaped her time at Northwest, her pre–health science studies, and her goal of pursuing speech pathology with a focus on pediatric care as she continues her education after NWCC.

Northwest Mississippi Community College Rodeo Coach Will Lummis (NWCC Ranger Rodeo) also stops by to preview a busy spring stretch and discuss how the program is building on last season’s national-level performances. Lummis breaks down how team points work, what it takes to select the six men and four women who count toward team scoring, and why Northwest’s indoor arena has been a major advantage during a wet winter. He highlights athletes and events to watch, outlines the upcoming schedule—including stops at Murray State, East Mississippi, Pearl River, UT Martin, and Arkansas Tech—and looks ahead to Northwest’s own rodeo in Senatobia later this spring.
