BOZEMAN, Mont. - The Montana Western Rodeo Team got off to a solid start to the spring season with a top finish in the MSU Spring Rodeo #2. Jhet Murphy won the Men's All-Around on Sunday afternoon.

"It was a good day. I was lucky enough to come back in all three of my events. Started out with bulldogging and got a good steer. Won the second round in the average and just let that momentum carry on through the rest of the rodeo. Had a good calf roping run and it was a good day." Jhet Murphy said following the rodeo.

"Super proud of the men's team to come in and extend their lead and keep battling. The whole men's team had a great rodeo and solid weekend." Head Coach JT Robbins said.

"On the women's side, Ryland was really solid in the Breakaway. She has put herself in the position to crawl back into the standings. We are heading to Miles City next week and are looking to keep it going." JT continued.
