The Clarendon College Men’s Rodeo Team competed at Western Texas College rodeo in Snyder this past weekend and won third place as a team with Cole Franks winning the bareback riding championship and Dawson Gleaves with the bull riding championship.
Franks won both rounds with an 87-point ride in the long go and an 84 in the short round to win the average. Weston Patterson was 78 points in the long go; and while he failed to make a qualified ride in the short go, he still finished 6th in the average.
In the saddle bronc riding, four riders made it back to the short round. Trey Elshere was the only one to ride both horses and scored 73 in the long go and 77 points in the short round for 3rd in the average. Patterson won second in the long go with his 80-point ride, Brody Wells had a 79-point ride tied for 3rd place, and Cash Wilson was 78 points for 5th place.
Team ropers Kreese Milligan and Dawson Reedy had a 6.7 time in the team roping for a spot in the short go but missed their steer in the short round.
In the bull riding, Dawson Gleaves was 85 points in the long go and tied for 2nd place, 89 for 1st in the short go and the average while Reedy was 83 points in the long go for 4th place but bucked off in the short go but still earned 5th in the average.
The Bulldogs still hold the number one spot in the regional team standings but not by much. It will come down to the wire in the team standings and a couple events as the team competes in their last regular season rodeo this weekend at Tarleton State.
The top two teams and top three individuals in each event will advance to the College National Finals Rodeo held in Casper, Wyo., in June.
