2nd annual College Recruitment Event presented by Boot Barn
This year, the Patriot will host the 2nd annual College Recruitment Event presented by Boot Barn. This event provides a unique opportunity to preview and connect with an outstanding showcase of youth rodeo athletes from across the country. This year Boot Barn is going to provide 100 gift bags for contestants that come to this event.
We would love to have you—or a representative from your college or university—join us at what has become the second-largest high school rodeo event in the country. This is an early opportunity to see the next generation of rodeo talent and speak directly with athletes from all regions to determine who may be the right fit for your program.
