MPCC rodeo teams finish top four at River Falls Rodeo

River Falls, Wis. – The Mid-Plains Community College rodeo teams opened the 2025-26 season this past weekend at the 61st Annual Falcon Frontier Days Rodeo in River Falls, Wis. The men’s team claimed the top spot in the team standings, while the women’s team placed fourth.  

Kahiwa Augustiro, the reigning two-time Great Plains Region All-Around Cowboy, continued his dominance with a second-place finish in team roping alongside Jace Richter. Augustiro also placed fourth in both bareback and bull riding, securing him the all-around title for the weekend.

Jackson Lunn of Whitecourt, Alberta, took home the gold buckle in the bareback event with a score of 148.5. National Champion bull rider Trace Scarlavai jumped back in the chute and posted a third-place finish behind his teammate Wyatt Davis and Bode Spence of Iowa Central Community College.

In saddle bronc, Koy McAllister posted a second-place finish—just five points shy of Dickinson State’s Tayson Jones, the current regional leader.

On the women’s side, Laynee Ohm placed third in the all-around standings, finishing fifth in breakaway roping and seventh in goat tying. Whitney Jennings earned a third-place finish in breakaway, with teammate Bailey Barker close behind in fourth.

Next up, the MPCC Rodeo Team returns home to host the Stampede at the Wild West Arena in North Platte. The three-day event kicks off Thursday, with nightly performances starting at 7 p.m. and slack scheduled for 9 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. An additional slack session will follow Thursday night’s main performance.
