The NU men's rodeo team finished third
in the 12th annual intercollegiate rodeo
Friday , Saturday and Sunday .
The cowboys of South Dakota State
University took the top honors followed
by the men from Chadron State.
Greg Swim of the UNL team had a 3 1 .6
average in the Calf Roping competition for
a fourth place finish. His time of 125 for
his run in the finals was third best for the
rodeo.
Swim and Rick Lien managed to hold
onto a third place finish in the team roping
event, even with a five-second penalty in
their final run.
Swim also was a member of the fourth
place team in that event. He shared that
honor with Scott Cements of the National
College of Business in South Dakota.
Bull riding found Marshall Juma of the
UNL team staying on for the required eight
seconds for a total score of 140 and a
second place finish.
Of the 10 qualifiers, only three managed
to stay on their bulls for the entire time.
In the steer wrestling competition, Lien
found himself pitted against a tough steer
and brought in a time of 13.1 in the finals.
But a time of 5.8 in the qualifying round
kept him in third place with an average
time of 18.9.
In the women's events, Sheila DeGroff
was the only cowgirl from UNL to get to
the finals. She finished seventh in the
Barrel Racing with an average of 2829.
In the Breakaway Calf Roping, DeGroff
missed her first throw, but managed to get
the loop around the calf's head on her
second try, for an eighth place finish.
UNL club member Greg Swim was
awarded the Dan Kingman Jr. Memorial
Sportsmanship award at the rodeo. The
award is given each year to the club
member voted most outstanding by other
members.
