MURRAY, Ky. – The University of West Alabama rodeo teams concluded the fall schedule over the weekend at the Murray State Rodeo Show.
The women's team took fourth place overall, totaling 155 points, while the men captured sixth with 320 points.
"We didn't compete up to our capabilities, and we made too many crucial mistakes. I am thankful for the break so that we can reset the system; this is only the halfway point. We need to use this time to rest, but it also gives us a chance to work on fundamentals," said head coach Daniel Poole.
