Building Our Community for a Better Tomorrow
Western States Cat and the Cat Rental Store have been long-time supporters of the Idaho State University Track and Field team. Our equipment and sponsorship helped to build their original cross-country course in 2002, and now, in 2025, Cat rental equipment and technology have once again played a crucial role in upgrading the course.
“Western States has long been a friend to ISU. Their equipment and financial contributions have fueled other capital projects, such as Miller Ranch, and programs in the College of Technology. They are producing meaningful experiences and skilled technicians for our community in a variety of ways. What a tremendous partner!” said Pauline Thiros, Director of Athletics
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to making this event a resounding success. Together, we are building a better tomorrow for our community.
