The 2021 CNFR is in the books and the nations top Collegiate Rodeo athletes have been crowned. They came from all over the US to show off their rodeo skills and some from right here in Casper.

If you ever wondered what it's like to have the Ford Wyoming Center EXPLODE with excitement and happiness, just ask Kellan and Carson Johnson. The brothers from Casper and Casper College won the National Championship in team roping and had the Ford Wyoming Center ROCKING and hometown crowd cheering SO loud the announcers could barely be heard. It was a moment that will not be forgotten for may years to come.

Casper College Rodeo Team had athletes competing in many different events over the week and finished 3rd overall as a team.

The Casper College Rodeo Facebook page describes the program pretty accurately:

A leading rodeo program in the Central Rocky Mountain Region, Casper College is a force to be reckoned with
