The National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) announced the position draws for the 2026 College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) on Sunday afternoon, providing a week full of action for four Black Hills State University cowgirls Sunday, June 14, through Saturday, June 20. The event will once again be held at the Ford Wyoming Center in Casper, Wyoming, a place it has called home since 1999. The Yellow Jackets, who earned a team bid with a runner-up finish in the Great Plains Region, will send Jayda Reinert (barrel racing), Sierra Steele (barrel racing), Emma Ohm (breakaway roping), and Haley Husted (goat tying) to Casper.
