The MSU-Northern Lights and Skylights rodeo teams competed in the last rodeo of the fall season, going down to Dillon for Montana Western’s performances. After qualifying nine of its riders to the short round, three Skylights ended up placing on averages, while also picking up a fourth-place team finish.
Brooklin Baukol finished third in the barrel racing with a 35.35 time and in the 40-point slot, while her teammate and fellow Skylight Brittney Cox was a fourth-place barrel racer at 35.53 seconds, scoring 30 points. Kyla Burchard finished third in the breakaway roping at 10.9 seconds for 40 points. She also had a sixth-place finish in goat tying with a time of 15.8 seconds, earning her team 10 points.
With the fall rodeo season over, the Lights and Skylights will continue to train while going to class and be ready to partake in the spring rodeos, which typically begin in the second week of April. Stay tuned to New Media Broadcasters when the schedule comes out for MSU-Northern rodeo.
