Ralphie and her handlers: a match made in heaven. Keep reading to hear from our seniors about why they tried out to be a Ralphie Handler⬇️
Matthew Winston, Senior, Business Analytics:
“I wanted to be part of the best college sports tradition in history. Little did I know this would be the best decision I could have ever made. Joining the team has pushed me to always be the best version of myself, and I never thought I would have a buffalo as a running buddy!”
Olivia Drobnich, Senior, Integrative Physiology:
“I fell in love with watching Ralphie run out on the field, and I wanted to experience that feeling for myself. I knew that I wanted to be a part of the most incredible team and tradition at CU. Being part of this team has given me life-long friends, valuable lessons in hard work, and the privilege of caring for the most incredible buffalo on the planet.”
Cristian Lomoro, Senior, Finance:
“I tried out to be a Ralphie Handler because of the thought of how insane it would be to have 50,000 fans yelling while I ran alongside a buffalo on Folsom Field. I also missed the camaraderie and bond that came with being on a team. I’m eternally grateful to have been able to not only make life-long friends but also be a part of history in this amazing program.”
