The University of Wyoming Cowboys rode away with the team title at the season-opening rodeo of the Central Rocky Mountain Region over the weekend while the Cowgirls also finished atop the standings.
The Cowboys dominated the timed events and had top-5 finishers in five of six events on their way to a CRMR record 865 points at the Chadron State College Rodeo in Chadron, Nebraska.
Chadron Coffield led UW’s charge, winning the tie-down roping with a two-run time of 18.3 seconds and tying Laramie County Community College’s Riley Reiss for first in steer wrestling after both posted two-run times of 8.
