NOT THEIR FIRST (CNF) RODEO
Along with the four first-timers, four UMW student-athletes will compete as multi-time CNFR qualifiers. Gavin Knutson leads the pack with four straight trips, followed by Jake Deveraux (three), Cooper Pavkov (two) and Cade Costello (two).

 BULLDOG ROUNDUP 
The men's team finished second in the Big Sky region with 6,256.50 points on the season. That puts UMW 10th in the National Standings heading into CNFR.
 
 LOOKING AHEAD 
Over the week, the athletes will be striving for the Championship round qualification. The top 12 in each event (saddle bronc, tie-down roping, etc.) advance to Saturday's final round.
