DURANT, Okla. — The Colby Community College rodeo team hit the arena this past weekend at the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Rodeo, the Trojans' farthest trip of the fall season. The three-day event drew a strong field of competitors from across the Central Plains Region, and Colby athletes showcased their grit across multiple events.
The breakaway roping pen saw Colby bring six cowgirls, led by Andrea Hull Cantillo, who placed 25th with a 3.7-second effort. Rylie Sexson (36th, 5.7) also made the leaderboard.
The Trojans' highlight came in steer wrestling, where Lakoddah Downes muscled through with consistency. His first run clocked 6.2 seconds, followed by a 9.2 in the short go, giving him a 15.4 on two head to finish 10th overall.
In goat tying, Colby had two in the mix as Brooklynn Hughes (53rd, 12.0) and Reser (55th, 12.3) turned in competitive efforts on the ground. The team roping box featured two Trojan pairings. Sexson and Reser combined for a 31.5 to place 39th.
Barrel racing saw Colby enter its deepest lineup of the weekend. Hughes led the group with an 18.14 to place 57th, followed by Crockett-Armijo (81st, 18.75), Kats (107th, 22.43), and Sexson (121st, 24.11).
The Trojans will be back in action next week (Oct. 2–4) as they travel to Stillwater, Okla., for the OSU Cowboy Stampede. Following that trip, Colby will get a few weeks of rest and preparation before closing out the month at the Northwestern Oklahoma State University Rodeo in Alva (Oct. 30–Nov. 1).
