The chutes for the spring rodeo season cracked open Feb. 23 as all members of the team competed vigorously at the Odessa College Wrangler Rodeo.  Events ran from Thursday through Saturday, and the weekend brought good fortune to many of the team’s members.

All members of the SPC Rodeo Team competed, and nine those athletes qualified for Saturday night’s short go round. 

Coach Kerry Doster said, “I was very pleased with the performance of our team at Odessa. We are looking forward to getting back in the practice pen to begin preparing for our next rodeo in Sweetwater on March 23^rd.”
The SPC steer wrestlers brought their A-game to Odessa.   Jace Joos won the long round and ended up reserve overall. Logan Kenline was 4^th in the long go and 3^rd overall.

Clay Tom Hurt placed 8^th in the long go and 6^th overall.

Dawson Lowen was 6^th in the long go and 10^th overall.   

Birch Eiguren and Titan Quigg both pulled through for the team in big ways as well by winning 1^st in the long go in their respective events.   Quigg then went on to finish 6^th overall in the calf roping and Eiguren came out 8^th overall in the team roping.

The SPC women’s team had a successful weekend as well. Morgan Northcutt split 4^th – 6^th in the breakaway long go to then come back in the short go and clinch the reserve title.

Sammy Taylor was 7^th in the goat tying for the long round and ended up 10^th overall.

Emery Mask split the win in the breakaway long go and finished in a tie for 4^th place overall when all was said and done.  

As the season continues, Doster is looking forward to what the team will accomplish. The next rodeo is March 23 through 25 where you can find the team competing in the Cisco College Rodeo in Sweetwater, Texas.  They will compete for event titles there and points towards the College National Finals Rodeo as well.
