GUYMON, Okla. – The SWOSU rodeo team wrapped up the 2021-22 circuit at the Panhandle State Rodeo over weekend where the women finished third and the men eighth.

Wolaver was crowned the region champion in barrel racing following the completion of the OPSU Rodeo, while both Hepper (barrel racing) and Williams (breakaway) were named reserve champions.
Though the men's team did not collectively qualify,
