Rodeo has been a part of McNeese since 1947 when the first rodeo team was formed and has had a r
ich tradition of winning for over six decades. The tradition began in the 1950s with the McNeese men’s rodeo team winning three consecutive national championships from 1957 to 1959 and has also included 10 men’s and women’s national individual rodeo championships and two reserve championships from 1958-2008. In 2010, MSU Rodeo was well represented at the CNFR as both the men's and women's teams qualified. The men's team went in as the top team from the NIRA's Southern Region and the women's team as the second place team from the region. At the conclusion of the 2010 CNFR MSU came home as the second place men's team in the nation ranked behind region rival Sam Houston State.
