The annual MSU-Northern College Rodeo was held Friday through Sunday at the Great Northern Fairgrounds Arena, with teams from Montana State, Montana UM-Western, Great Falls, Miles Community College, Northwest College and Dawson Community College in attendance.

MSU-Northern cowboy Phillip Sutherland rides in the saddle bronc competition during Saturday night's performance of the 2011 MSU-Northern College Rodeo at the Great Northern Fairgrounds. Sutherland won the all-around saddle bronc title at the three-day college rodeo.


Northern had a great first-place showing from former Have Blue Pony Phillip Sutherland in the saddle bronc riding. Sutherland won the average in the saddle bronc after finishing first in the short go on Sunday and fourth in the long go on Friday night. Sutherland’s total score was 136 for his two rides. Northern’s Robert Wagner also placed in the saddle bronc. Wagner finished sixth in the long go on Friday night with a 53 and that was good enough to land him seventh in the average at the end of the weekend.

 

MSU-N’s Charlie Mack did well in bareback riding, finishing sixth in the long with 53 points and, overall, he placed ninth.

Overall, the Lights placed seventh in the men’s team standings for the weekend. Montana State won the event with Western finishing second and the University of Montana third.

The Northern women’s team didn’t place in the final team standings. The Skylights had Malia VandenBos and Katie Bell compete for them in the barrels this weekend. UM-Western won the women’s team title while Montana finished second and MSU was third.

Ty Erickson of Montana State captured the men’s all-around for the weekend and Montana State’s Leah Reed-Parsch took home the women’s all-around title.

The Northern rodeo teams are back on the road this weekend for a three-day rodeo in Miles City. The rodeo is hosted by Miles Community College.
