RIVER FALLS, Wis. – Black Hills State rodeo wrapped up its weekend at the Falcon Frontier Days Rodeo with several first-place finishes.

"Our team had a good start to our season scoring points in almost every event that we competed in," said Head Coach Glen Lammers. "We had several personal bests this week, and I don't ever remember any former BHSU teams claiming first and second in breakaway and 1-3 in the tie down at a rodeo so that I would say is a team record as well. I was proud of how our Yellow Jackets performed and how they supported each other."

On the women's side, Karli Verhulst finished second in the Goat Tying with a 15.0 on two, while Isabel Risse finished third with a 15.2 on two.

Riley Donnelly placed second in the long go of Goat Tying with a 7.5.

In Breakaway Roping, Sydney Theobald placed first with a 6.4 on two for her first title in the event, and Tessa Caspers came in second on a 7.1 on two. Kassidy Caspers finished fifth with a 2.9 on one.

Jayme Peterson put up a 9.7 in the long go in Team Roping to place fifth, earning points for the team in her first weekend competing as a Yellow Jacket.

Cashae McGee finished third in the Barrel Racing with a 32.67 on two runs.

On the men's side, Nick Bjork and Riley Staton tied for first in the Tie Down Roping, each with a 22.1 on two which was a career-best for Bjork in the event. Austin Madison finished third with a 23.1 on two.
