HAYS, Kan. -- The Fort Hays State University men's rodeo
team brought home silver from the Pratt Community College Rodeo in October.
Ty Rumford, Abbyville
junior, won the steer wrestling and
team roping and was the All-Around Cowboy for the rodeo.
"Ty winning two events is something that hasn't been
done by anyone in our region for quite some time," said Charles "Bronc"
Rumford, Ty's dad and rodeo coach at FHSU.
Blair Jones, Monte
Vista, Colo., junior, placed third in steer wrestling and is in second place
for the year-end title in that event.
Dakota Milner, Welda
junior, and Jones are in the top three for the year in team roping.
"Fort Hays State rodeo has had at least three people in
the championship round at every rodeo this fall," said Bronc Rumford.
"This second-place finish is our highest finish in a couple of
years."
Sam Tenpenny, Topeka junior,
won second place in the women's goat tying at Pratt.
