Rodeo Builds on Fall Semester Highlights

The Colby Community College rodeo team had a solid fall semester, competing in four rodeos with a roster of eight sophomores and nine freshmen.

"The team as a whole has been working hard and showing lots of improvement," said Coach LeRoy Hays. "We know some things we need to work on in the off-season."

The Trojans will resume competition at Kansas State University on Feb. 16, 17, and 18.
