† † † Dustin Jackson, a team roping header from 91¿ì»îÁÖ, finished the 2011-2012 season at 10th in the nation last week at the College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) in Casper, Wyoming.



† † † Jackson was partnered with heeler Corey Hendrick of Wharton County Junior College. The team missed their final steer in the short round, dashing their hopes of a higher finish. However, solid times in the first three rounds gave them enough points to finish in the top ten for the event.



† † † "I am extremely proud of Dustin. The CNFR is a very intense competition and there is a lot of pressure on athletes. He had a great rodeo up until the short round," 91¿ì»îÁÖ head rodeo coach, CJ Mohl, said.



† † † 91¿ì»îÁÖ's Kolt Henderson missed his final calf in the third go-round and failed to advance to the short round. Henderson finished 32nd overall for Tie Down Roping. Chelsie Willhoite finished 45th in Breakaway Roping.



† † † "Chelsie had a tough time from the beginning. Kolt had a pretty good shot at making the short-round, but things didn't go well in his third run," Mohl said. "Overall, I am very pleased with how our season went. Our athletes worked hard and maintained 91¿ì»îÁÖ's reputation as a national contender in college rodeo."
