Ribbons At The Rodeo' For Cancer Awareness Announced for Thursday Night At CNFR

The College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) is the "Best of the Best" of college rodeo. It is where the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) crowns individual event champions in saddle bronc riding, bare back riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping, barrel racing, breakaway roping, and goat tying. National team championships are also awarded to both men's and women's teams. For the 20th year, the nation's best college cowboys and cowgirls from eleven different regions will enter into the CNFR arena in Casper, Wyoming on June 10-16, 2018.

Over 400 cowboys and cowgirls from over 100 universities and colleges compete in Casper each year. Contestants compete all year in one of the NIRA's 11 regions for a chance to rope or ride at the CNFR. The top three students in each event, and top two men's and women's teams from the NIRA's 11 regions will qualify for the CNFR.

"Ribbons at the Rodeo" will be Thursday, June 14th. Attendees are encouraged to wear pink, gray, or any other color of ribbon that represents a type of cancer that they have been affected by.
