With five individuals currently within the top-4 of their respective events, the Black Hills State University men’s and women’s rodeo teams look to secure their spots as national qualifiers for the 2026 College National Finals Rodeo at the Great Plains Region finale, the 67th annual Cornhusker College Rodeo at the Sandhills Global Event Center. Among the regional leaders, Jayda Reinert looks to round out a regional title in barrel racing after having won her sixth title of the year in the event last weekend. Others vying for spots include Sierra Steele (barrel racing), Luke Mavity (tie down roping), Emma Ohm (breakaway roping), and Haley Husted (goat tying). Additionally, with another strong performance this weekend, the Yellow Jacket women’s team can lock up another bid as a team to the CNFR, holding down the second and final spot in the region currently.
