NWC rodeo crowns Owens, ProctorThe Northwest College Rodeo program brought home a pair of individual champions from the Montana State University-Northern rodeo last weekend. Bull rider Tyler Owens and breakaway roper Cody Proctor claimed the crown in their respective events. For Proctor, the roping title was just part of an active weekend. In addition to winning her event by 0.7 seconds, Proctor placed third overall in the women's all-around standings after also turning in a sixth-place showing in the barrel racing portion of the competition. Owens' title also came by a scant margin. The Trappers' top bull rider for the weekend claimed top honors by a two-point margin ahead of Montana State University's Bobby Peters. The Trappers also had a sixth-place finish in the event from Troy Vernon. Other Northwest College rodeo team members registering high finishes in Havre include the tandem of Tucker Zingg and Jordan Gill. The pair finished second and third, respectively, in the bareback riding competition. Casey Good earned a third-place finish for the Trappers in tie-down roping. Steffani Hofrichter added a third-place finish in the goat-tying event for the Trapper women. Despite the strong individual finishes in a pair of events, the Trappers finished down in the team standings. Northwest College was third among five women's teams at the end of the rodeo. The men's team placed sixth out of seven teams in attendance. Season standings show the Trapper women's team fourth out of seven teams in the Big Sky Region. The Trapper men are sixth out of eight teams after three regional events this season. Individual event standings within the region show Tucker Zingg sitting in second place among bareback riders. Samuel Shelton is third in the steer wrestling standings. Tyler Owen is fourth in the bull riding standings. For the Trapper women, Cody Proctor holds a 16.5-point lead in the regional breakaway roping standings. Teammate Haily Hamlin is third overall, 17.5 points behind Proctor. Steffani Hofrichter sits second in the goat tying standings. The Northwest College rodeo teams return to competition this weekend at Miles Community College. The event begins Friday and runs through Sunday.
