Sophomore Cameron Jensen, Bingham, NE, placed 2nd in the average of the Tie Down roping which clinched his qualification for the College National Finals Rodeo to be held in Casper, WY in June. Jensen finished the season as the Reserve Champion Tie Down roper.
"It was great to see many of our students finish off the season strong," said Coach Jake Clark. "Dalton and Canton dominated the team roping. What a great way to finish your college rodeo career. Cameron earned a trip to the CNFR. He competed really well, going from 5th to the Reserve Champion Tie Down roper at the final rodeo. He has been consistent all spring and we are looking forward to him competing at the CNFR in June."
