CASPER, WY – The opening slack round of the 2025 College National Finals Rodeo from the Casper Events Center was a strong one for the Laramie County Community College Golden Eagles.
Led by a top five finish from Cory Bomhoff in tie down where the sophomore from Cheyenne represented for his home town college with a 9.2 second run on his first calf of the CNFR.
Not to be out shone, Kassidy Dunagan ran out to a 7.0 second run in goat tying where she is 21st in a field of 49 athletes. This is the second trip to the CNFR for Dunagan after she finished in 14th place last year, just missing out on the short go.
