The weather was very unpredictable in Bozeman over the weekend. But the changing conditions of rain, snow and wind didn't affect the Bulldogs as the men's team won the second rodeo and the women stayed steady taking second in both nights. In the first rodeo the women missed the win by just five points. Brody Smith took home the buckle both nights and has won six of the seven rodeos this year.

Coach Lahaye's Thoughts
"The first rodeo we did well and knocked off some rust. The second rodeo we really stepped it up and gave our selves a chance and gained a lot of momentum heading into the last three weeks of the season."
