This June, the Texas A&M Rodeo Team had three athletes compete at the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming. All three students represented Texas A&M with pride, working hard all year to reach this level of competition.

The Texas A&M Rodeo Team was represented by Gavin French, Madalyn Richards, and Boyd Hanagriff, who qualified in their respective events to compete at the CNFR, held June 17–21. The CNFR is the highest level of competition for collegiate rodeo athletes. The trio competed in multiple rounds and performed impressively.

We are incredibly proud of their dedication and the effort they put in throughout the year. Special thanks to coaches Roger Hanagriff and Tyler Handley for their guidance and support of our student-athletes.
