COLLEGE FINALS RODEO TO BE FEATURED ON CSTV IN AUGUST

The College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) will be featured during the month of August on College Sports Television (CSTV) with three separate shows being broadcast. 

CNFR action begins airing on Friday, Aug. 3, at 8 p.m. (CDT), with the additional episodes premiering at 8 p.m., Friday, Aug. 10, and at 8 p.m., Friday, Aug. 17. Each of these one-hour programs will have numerous additional airings during the month. A complete schedule can be found by clicking on the “On Air” button at http://www.cstv.com.

Northwestern Oklahoma State University had six members of its rodeo team competing at the CNFR, held in June in Casper, Wyo.

At the end of the rodeo, Teddi Winfrey, Plains, Kan., senior, placed fifth nationally in goat tying and also competed in breakaway roping. Although Winfrey was the only Ranger woman at the CNFR, she earned 160 points in goat tying, good enough to place Northwestern 10th among the 31 women’s teams competing in the rodeo.

Winfrey won the women’s all-around and breakaway roping titles in the Central Plains Region and was third in goat tying.

Mitch Barney, Logan, Iowa, senior, and Coleman Proctor, Miami junior, finished eighth nationally in the team roping event. Barney and Proctor were Central Plains champions in team roping. Barney also won the regional steer wrestling title and was reserve champion all-around cowboy.

Also competing at the CNFR were Tyler Johnson, Mound City, Kan., junior; K.W. Lauer, Buffalo senior, and Justin Binder, Inman, Kan., senior.

            The CNFR telecasts will show action from the finals, including interviews and features from the entire finals week and portions of the awards ceremony. The live audience for the event broke all records.

            CSTV is available via satellite and cable companies.
