Let’s Ride

A freshman transfer from Gillette College, led CSC’s Rodeo Team, last weekend at the home rodeo.
Grant Turek, freshman of Saint Paul made it into the short-go in tie down roping with nine seconds, during the final round he got the best time with a 11.4 seconds.
His time totaled in at 20.4 seconds, almost two seconds ahead of second palace, Orrin Edwards from Laramie County Community College (LCCC).
Turek also had the best team-roping score for CSC, landing him and his partner, Chance Derner from LCCC.
In highschool Turek was the Nebraska State High School Rodeo Champion for three years in tie-down roping.
Turek was the second men’s all-around leaders, placing 35 points behind University of Wyoming’s Bodie Mattson.
Also making the short-go from CSC was Trayton Travnicek, junior of Minatare, he scored a 5.9 in the first round of steer wrestling but went for a no-score on the second.
Rylee, Naprstek, and Phannette Gray, senior of Hyannis, both placed in the breakaway roping with times of 6.7 and 2.9. Naprstek caught both calves.
Barrel races were canceled at the CSC rodeo after morning slack, Saturday due to, slick sand causing horses to fall.
“The sand was a great addition for all the other events, but the old surface was still there, and the new footing was pretty slick when the horses had to make sharp turns like they do in the barrels,” CSC Head Rodeo Coach Dustin Luper said to CSC Sports Information. “The judges made the decision to halt the barrel race. They’re like baseball umpires. Once the game starts, they’re in charge.”
CSC rodeo will compete in Riverton, Wyoming this weekend at Central Wyoming
Community College.
