A member of the Northwestern rodeo team loops around a barrel Tuesday night during the university’s rodeo at the Alva Dome.


The two-day event was originally set to begin Feb. 18, but it was postponed because of inclement weather.


Northwestern team members competed in the hopes of qualifying for the College National Finals Rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

This year’s rodeo offered fewer events than it did in years past because of coronavirus safety restrictions. Fans were not allowed to attend the event because of social distancing requirements.


Rodeo action began Tuesday and was expected to continue through Wednesday.
