South Dakota State University this week will host one of the country's largest collegiate rodeos, the 53rd annual Jackrabbit Stampede.
The competition will be held April 13-15 at the Swiftel Center.
The rodeo features more than 250 college contestants in events ranging from goat tying to barrel racing to bronc riding.
Contestants come from across the Great Plains Region, which is made up six states, including North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and part of Nebraska.
The Stampede is not only one of the largest rodeos in the Great Plains states but also one of the largest college rodeos in the nation in terms of attendance.
Along with having one of the premier college rodeos, SDSU is also home to some of the nation’s top rodeo athletes. The SDSU men’s rodeo team is ranked 22nd in the nation with the women’s team ranked 24th. Jacque Murray of Isabel is ranked 10th in the all-around standings among female collegiate riders, and Joe Gunderson, Onida, is ranked fourth in bareback riding. Tait Kvistad of Sturgis is also a nationally ranked bronc rider, holding down the 10th spot.
