The award will be presented for a special steer riding event open only to fraternities.
Each team entered in the event will be composed of four members. A 20-foot rope will be attached to the neck of each steer. When the whistle blows, the teams will run to the opposite end of the arena, grab the first steer they can get to, saddle it, and ride it into a designated circle in the center of the arena. The first team to reach the circle wins.
EIGHT MAJOR EVENTS will also be featured on the three-day rodeo card; six men's and two women's events.
The men's events are bareback bronc riding, tie-down calf roping, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, bull roiding and ribbon roping.
The two women's events are barrell racing and goat tying.
APPROXIMATELY 150 contestants from the Great Plains region will participate in the rodeo. States which will be represented are Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
The KU Rodeo Club will participate in four other rodeos, all in South Dakota.
