Penny paired up with Tess Mortenson, a Conners State competitor, to win the Team Roping average. Their round-best 7.0 second time in Sunday's short round helped propel them to take home the top spot.
 
The women's team also had a strong performance from Cheyenne VandeStouwe in Goat Tying. Her 6.3 second time in the short go allowed her to win the round. She finished second in the average.
 
On the men's side, SWOSU also got long round wins from Marley Berger and Wyatt Bentz. Berger had a 9.1 second time in Calf Roping, but a no time in the short go. Bentz posted a 4.3 second run in Steer Wrestling and went on to finish eighth overall.
