Northern rodeo teams get the season started

The Montana State University-Northern rodeo teams got the 2015 spring season off and running this past weekend.

The Lights and Skylights were in Bozeman for the Montana State University Big Sky Region Rodeo, which was held last Friday through Sunday.

And while Northern didn’t have many top times in the event, the Skylights did get a strong performance from Sierra Collins in the breakaway roping. Collins finished seventh in the second go-around with a time of 3.0, giving the MSU-N women’s team 11.5 points in the rodeo, which featured teams from MSU, UM-Western, Northwest College, University of Great Falls, Dawson Community College and the University of Montana.

The Lights and Skylights will return to action when they travel to Glendive April 24-26 for the Dawson Community College Rodeo.
