The spring portion of the 2025-26 college rodeo season got underway this past Friday and Saturday in the Great Plains Region at the 63rd annual Cyclone Stampede in the Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center. Both the Black Hills State University men’s and women’s rodeo teams tallied sixth place finishes at the event, as the cowboys accumulated 140 team points and the cowgirls totaled 85 team points. Leading the way on the men’s side was Luke Mavity who picked up a second place finish in tie down roping and moved himself into the top-5 of the region with the performance, while on the women’s side it was the freshman duo of Kiera Mavity and Paige Delaney who recorded third place finishes in goat tying and breakaway roping respectively that highlighted four top-5 finishes for the squad.
