CANADIAN, Texas – Eastern New Mexico men's and women's rodeo competed at the Frank Phillips College rodeo this weekend. Two men and three women made it back to the short go for ENMU.

"It was great to be back competing as a team," said head coach John Sharp. "We want to use these rodeos as learning opportunities for our program. We had five make it back to the short round and aspire to have more competing not only for multiple runs, but also team points."

The men finished in ninth place and the women took fifth place in Canadian, Texas.

Shaeden Marr was fourth in the long round with a 7.7s time and finished atop the field in the short round with a 7.4s time. Marr snagged 140 points and was the only point scorer for the Hounds this weekend.
