Season Starts Again After a successful fall semester, the spring semester of college rodeo begins at Mississippi State University in Meridian, MS on March 6th-8th. This semester’s expectations are high. While fall was good, many are kicking it into high gear in hopes of making it to the College National Finals Rodeo. Practices have not officially begun, but team members have already started training and many are already competing in open events around the region. Spirits are high and competition should be stiffening up as the last leg of the season undertakes, so good luck to all!! |
