RANGELY, Colo. (March 29, 2022) - The third rodeo of the 2022 spring college rodeo season was hosted by Weber State University in Ogden, UT, at the Golden Spike indoor arena, this past weekend. CNCC's Hadley Gross tied for 7^th-8^th place in the long go-round of the barrel racing on her indoor/backup mare "Rita". Then, the due came back and took a tenth off of their time in the short-go round, to place 6^th. They were just out of placing in the aggregate, but they made two really nice, pretty runs.
 
Sadie Shake had the nicest 1^st barrel she and her equine partner "Ricky" have had at all three of the indoor spring rodeos, and that was a huge accomplishment. They ended up tipping 2^nd and 3^rd barrels, but that 1^st barrel was so amazing, we didn't really care. Sometimes the accomplishment doesn't show on the score board, but you know you rode well, and that is what Sadie did in Ogden.
 
The goat got the best of Hadley in Ogden, but she will be ready for battle this coming weekend, when CNCC hosts its own "Spartan Showdown" college rodeo, at the arena at Columbine Park, on April 1-2. Performances are nightly at 6pm, with slack being run at 10am on Saturday morning. 
 
The "Spartan Showdown" is honoring veterans in the arena during the singing of the National Anthem both nights of the rodeo. They would like to extend an invitation to all veterans who would like to attend and be a part of the presentation in the arena nightly. Please call (970)629-3466 for more information, if you are a veteran, and would like to attend. Please arrive by 5:30pm to be a part of this group. CNCC rodeo will provide veterans with free entry to the rodeo both nights, if they will be a part of this group, to say "thank you".
