The Clarendon College Stampede was a huge success with 548 contestants from 17 schools competing from the Southwest Region.
Stampede officials told the Enterprise that this was the biggest number of contestants ever for an NIRA rodeo in this region.
Clarendon College had three Saddle Bronc Riders and a Team Roper in the finals.
Tyler Turco won 4th in the first round of saddle bronc riding but was bucked off in the finals. Kyle Hash and Robert Haley made the finals in the bronc riding as well.
Hash also made the finals in the Team Roping and won second in the finals and split 2nd and 3rd in the average.
With contestants from 17 colleges and universities in the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association involved, qualifying events were held all day with nightly performances held at 7:30 p.m. each evening.
Activities each day included bull riding, barrel racing, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, team roping, goat tying, and break-away roping.
The Clarendon College Rodeo team will have one week off before their last rodeo of the semester at Texas Tech.
