Mid-Plains Community College Rodeo Team

We are deeply saddened today to learn about the passing on one of our own today, Sydney Dunlap. Sydney was a previous alumni from the MPCC Rodeo team and was larger than life.
She had a bright smile that would light up any room she walked into and would be always willing to help out where it was needed. We would like to offer our condolences to both friends and family as we navigate through this difficult time.

MPCC is headed to the short round!!! Cinch Painter is sitting 7th in the average.
Jackson Lunn was bumped down in the average and will finish 18th in the nation! We are extremely proud of our student athletes and excited for what’s ahead!

A few region awards given at the Coaches breakfast. We would like to thank NebraskaLand Days for hosting our rodeo year in and year out. All the contractors, personal and sponsors that donate to us every year to make this possible!
