Things move pretty fast in rodeo.

The Conquistador Rodeo team’s season runs full tilt out of the chute as the Conqs’ first competition of 2019 will be at the K-State Rodeo Feb. 15-17 at Weber Arena on the campus of K-State in Manhattan.

The K-State Rodeo – expected to pour some 10,000 rodeo fans into Weber Arena – is one of the oldest and most prestigious college rodeos in the region. It also brings together many of the stronger college rodeo programs like last year’s overall team winner Oklahoma Panhandle State, as well as most of the Conqs’ Central Plains Region competition.

Head coach Gabe Burrows, who competed for Panhandle State in college, has 10 athletes entered in the six competitions. The rodeo will see more than 300 student-athletes during the three-night, four-performance show.
