Cowboys and cowgirls are ready to pick up where they left off, from the fall 2016 season.

The spring portion of the 2016-2017 season begins April 8-9 in Laramie.

Points earned during the fall 2016 season carry over the break.

The Spring 2017 schedule is as follows:

April 8-9: Laramie

April 22-23: Rock Springs

April 29-30: Big Piney

May 6-7: Newcastle

May 13-14: Gillette

May 20-21: Casper

May 27: Buffalo

May 28-29: Sheridan

June 8-10: State Finals at Rock Springs

Competitors get points based on where they place on each DAY of a competition.

For example, you get 10 points if you finish first for the day, 9 points for a 2nd place finish, etc…

For each cowboy/cowgirl, the top 12 days/finishes from the regular season is their point total heading into the State Finals Rodeo.

If a cowboy/cowgirl has earned points on more than 12 occasions, the worst of their finishes are dropped from their point total.

That point total, combined with whatever points they earned at the State Finals Rodeo, will determine their final point total for the season.

The top 4 in each event at the end of the season, are invited to compete at the High School National Finals Rodeo, to be held July 16-22 at Gillette.

Below is the current top 4 in each event, as of the end of the Fall 2016 season.
