TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -
A Tucson area native, and the 2008 College National Finals Rodeo all-around champion, has died in an accident while boating on Lake Roosevelt in central Arizona.
26-year-old Wyatt Althoff, originally from Oracle, graduated from Canyon Del Oro High School and from New Mexico State. He had been making a name for himself in the ranks of the Turquoise Circuit which includes the Tucson Rodeo.
The Payson Roundup reports, "out with friends on Roosevelt Lake, Wyatt somehow fell from the boat. The friends and family aboard the boat said they turned around and he was gone. He never surfaced. It took a dedicated rescue crew groping through the gloom in the bottom of the lake more than a day to find his body."
At the time of his death, he and his partner T.J. Brown, were fourth in the Turquoise Circuit standings.
Althoff is survived by his parents, Linda Smith and former PRCA bull rider Brent Althoff and his girlfriend Kelsey Early.
Simulcast video of Race 14 showed the green jersey-clothed dog get sidetracked by another greyhound and slipped through the rail, which electrocuted it. The dog's owner, who is based in Texas, said over the phone that he was unaware of the dog's death and declined further comment.
