Good Afternoon Skyhawks,
The NTU Rodeo Team has been representing our school well. We started our season off in Tsaile, AZ and made our way to Douglas, AZ. I am proud of our student athletes. We have 10 students on the rodeo team this year. Out of the 10 students, we have 3 students in the top 10 of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association Grand Canyon Region Standings. They are:
Matthew Jodie 3rd in Steerwrestling
Hiyo Yazzie 6th in Tie Down
Hiyo Yazzie 8th in Team Roping
McKayla Jodie 9th in Breakaway
And for the Men's Team, Navajo Technical University is currently in 3rd place overall in our Region. 1st place is Central Arizona College, and 2nd place is New Mexico State University.
