Four guys wrestling a steer.The 60th Annual ACU Rodeo was one for the record books, setting new highs in attendance and participation! Students, ACU faculty and children alike got in on the action this year.

Zeta Rho took home the gold for girls and the men of Trojans did likewise for the guys. Grace Mason and Connor Mills championed the individual events. The teams of ACU faculty members that competed “did great and were fun to watch,” said Sara Bishop, sophomore animal science major. Four year old, Jake Warner, son of A&E student Kevin Warner, even attempted to ride a goat, said Bryce Gerlach, senior environmental science and wildlife major.

Some of the events included Steer Scramble, Calf Branding and Steer Riding for the guys, and Nanny Dressing, Calf Flag Tying and Goat Milking for the girls.

Overall the event was a huge success and while there were some minor bumps and bruises, no one was seriously injured. The AES Club plans to continue the tradition and is looking forward to next year’s rodeo!
