At the end of the year, Top 3 in each event receives a ticket to go to Nationals. In the Steerwrestling, Matthew Jodie, was 94 points away from placing 3rd for the year end. NTU has always come so close on going to Nationals. One little mishap makes a big difference. We got to be ready to win on day 1. There isn't time to get caught up at the next rodeo. 10 rodeos and it's done. This past season we only had 9 rodeos, so it was even that more important to make each rodeo count. We got talented cowboys and cowgirls. We are just glad to compete and represent Navajo Technical University in the Rodeo World. Right now we are looking forward to next season.
