WEATHERFORD – The 53rd Annual SWOSU Rodeo wrapped up Saturday night, with the men's team placing seventh and the women finishing 10th.
Southeastern claimed the women's team title, while Garden City and Fort Scott tied for first on the men's side.
The result snapped the women's five-rodeo winning streak. Seven Bulldogs qualified for the short round:
Cheyenne VandeStouwe,
Bailey Weeks,
Carli Stuva,
