Red Raven Rodeo

Coffeyville Community College Rodeo allows college bound cowgirls and cowboys to have the best of both worlds - boots and books!  Anyone who has the desire to rodeo can join the CCC team and compete at the ten NIRA Central Plains Region rodeos.  Students rodeo in the fall and spring semesters and travel together.

Critical to the success of rodeo competitors is the practice facilities, stock and equipment. CCC provides the calves, steers and rough stock for practices. The CCC practice arena is located at the Coffeyville Fairgrounds. The arena hosts the PRCA sanctioned Interstate Rodeo and is an excellent facility for us to utilize for practice.

Geographically, Coffeyville is located in the heart of rodeo country with opportunities to compete in local rodeo circuits, roping and barrel racing jackpots held throughout the year. We also find ourselves surrounded by many great breeding programs that offer a variety of bulls for practice.

Johnny Weil accepts Head Rodeo Coach position

Edna, Kansas, native Johnny Weil has accepted the head rodeo coach position at Coffeyville Community College and begins the task of rebuilding a program that went on hiatus for a year following the July 2007 flood that devastated the rodeo arena at Walter Johnson Park in Coffeyville.

“I’m looking at building the program from the ground up,” said Weil.  “We may have a couple of people carrying over the previous rodeo team, but for the most part it will be new and different.”

“They got the rodeo scheduled for Coffeyville in August and the fairgrounds will be back in shape, so we’ll be using the fairgrounds again and using the arena out there for practice,” said Weil.

Coffeyville Community College started the rodeo program in 2005 and fielded a team for two years before the flood forced a year hiatus.  The previous teams were coached by C.W. Tollefson who is now coaching at Sheridan College in Wyoming. [more]
