By NCTA News

CURTIS, Neb. - The rodeo team from the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture at Curtis heads to Iowa this weekend.

NCTA Aggie athletes will compete at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 24-25.

Four Aggies entered a double set of rodeos in North Platte last weekend and came up short in the payout of the Mid-Plains Community College Stampede held at the Buffalo Bill Wild West Arena.

Nathan Burnett of Shelton rides saddle broncs; Ellie Stohlmann of Ashland team ropes and barrel races, and Alexx Malchow of Beatrice and Celeste Tanguay of Derby Center, Vermont, both race barrels as well.

Aggie contestants entered in Iowa include Burnett, Stohlmann, Malchow, and Callie Bauer of Arcadia who team ropes with a partner from North Dakota.

They will join NCTA Coach Jaden Clark in traveling to the team’s third rodeo of the season.

The season finale is a double rodeo at Dickenson State University in North Dakota on Sept. 30-Oct. 2.
