The Central Wyoming College Rustler Rodeo Team has delivered an outstanding performance, securing a much-needed rebound at the Lamar Antelope Stampede Rodeo in Lamar, Colorado, and demonstrating excellence across multiple events as highlighted by the results.

The Rustlers were in Lamar for the fourth of five fall rodeos and truly shone, with the Men's Team finishing 3rd overall, just behind their tie-back riding and team roping.

"This was a much-needed rebound for this entire team after their performance in Sheridan," said Coach Schrock. "They arrived in Lamar ready to do their jobs, and it showed." The team collectively secured seven slots in the short round on Sunday, with Eian Smith (Bareback) and Cael Espenschied (Team Roping) winning the round and average in their respective events.

Other standout performances included:

• Braxton Condos roped to great speeds to finish 4th in the team roping.

• Gavin Kuegler broke out his new bronze saddle and seems to have made a huge difference in his ability to spur broncs as he was 72 points on his long round.

• Kenedie Balster stepped out of her comfort zone and entered the Goat Tying for the first time this season, landing a great run in the long round with a 8.4, which brought her back to the short round for the first time this season.

The team is now preparing for its last weekend of competition this week before leaving Friday morning for the LCCC rodeo in Cheyenne.
