The Colorado State University Rodeo Club is one of the largest and most active "club sports" organizations on the CSU campus. The club consists of approximately 50 active members who work to promote the sport of rodeo and compete within the ranks of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA). We have approximately 30 active members of NIRA, these members compete at the 10 NIRA sanctioned rodeos within the Central Rocky Mountain Region (Colorado,Wyoming, and Nebraska). The highlight of these rodeos is the Skyline Stampede which is held in April at the 43,000 sq. feet Bill Pickett Equine Teaching Center Arena, which seats just over 2,000. CSU not only has the distinction of holding the first official college rodeo, but has competed successfully on the regional and national level since then. The top two individuals in each event and the top two teams within the region qualify to compete at the College National Finals Rodeo. The club members that don't compete in NIRA sanctioned rodeos enjoy the sport, friendships and activities of the club, and are an integral part of our organization. |
