Bio

Coach Hash grew up in the small Texas panhandle town of Canadian where he had a successful high-school rodeo career, having qualified to the Texas State High School Rodeo Finals in steer wrestling and saddle bronc riding.  He made it on to the National High School Finals Rodeo in the steer wrestling.

Coach Hash then attended Murray State College in Tishomingo, OK.  After completing his studies at MSC, he transferred to Oklahoma Panhandle State University in Goodwell, Ok.  While at OPSU Hash was lucky enough to experience a friendship, student, and coaching relationship with the legendary rodeo coach Dr. R Lynn “Doc” Gardner. After three years of rodeoing under “Doc,” Hash had won the Central Plains Region steer wrestling championship twice “93 and 94,” qualified for the College National Finals Rodeo in 1993, 94, 95, helped his team to a second-place finish in the nation in 1993, and a third-place finish in 1994. Hash also served a two-year term as Central Plains regional student director in which an extra year of eligibility is awarded. 

After graduation from OPSU in 1995, Hash was asked by Doc. Gardner to stay and be an assistant for the Aggies.  Hash was an assistant for the 95-96 season at OPSU.  When “Doc” passed away in 1996, Hash decided to take an assistant coaching position in Douglas, AZ at Cochise College. After helping guide the Apache women’s team to another College National Finals Rodeo qualification for the 96-97 season, Hash then moved to Kansas where he was asked by longtime Broncbuster rodeo coach Norman Staats to take over for him after his retirement.

Hash started as an assistant rodeo coach at Garden City Community College in the 1998-99 season and assumed the Head Coaching position in 2003.  In this time, the rodeo team has qualified rodeo athletes to the CNFR almost every year. 

Alumni who have competed under Coach Hash include Wrangler National Finals Rodeo Qualifiers Emily Miller, Cort Scheer, and Casey Colletti as well as many other talented individuals.

Coach Hash and wife Jessica have two sons, Jaylyn, and Jaytyn who are actively involved in Rodeo as well.
