Two members of the Oklahoma State University Rodeo Team prepared for the biggest performance of the season. Carli Hawkins and Morgan Bagnell are among the top collegiate rodeo athletes competing at the 2025 College National Finals Rodeo.
The CNFR, which was June 15 to 21 in Casper, Wyoming, culminates the collegiate rodeo season. The National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association’s 11 regions will be represented.
The OSU Rodeo Program is housed in the Ferguson College of Agriculture, and team members pursue a variety of degrees offered university-wide.
Hawkins finished her senior year as the NIRA Central Plains Region reserve champion breakaway roper. Bagnell concluded her freshman season as the Central Plains Region champion barrel racer.
