A look back at some of the sports happenings during the week of Jan. 28-Feb. 3:

Last year on Jan. 28, 2023: The SDSU equestrian team took a road swing through Texas to take on three of the best teams in the nation in their home equestrian centers. The Jacks lost to No. 2 Texas Christian University in Forth Worth on Jan. 26; to No. 4 Texas A&M in College Station Jan. 27; and to No. 8 Baylor in Waco Jan. 28. However, SDSU senior Cassandra Townsend of Andover/Groton Area High School won two of her three head-to-head matchups in the Western event of reining. Townsend is having a great season with a 5-2 record and having won several Most Outstanding Performer awards in SDSU’s seven matchups this season.

10 years ago on Jan. 31, 2014: After competing in the Fort Worth Stock Show rodeo on the night of Jan. 30, 19-year-old pro bull rider Tanner Bothwell of Sturgis made the 18-hour, 1,055-mile, overnight drive back to his home state to compete in the Black Hills Stock Show’s PRCA Xtreme Bull Tour event in Rapid City. Less than 24 hours later, the two-time high school state wrestling champion tied for the Rapid City bull-riding title with Corey Maier of Timber Lake. Two days later on Feb. 3, Bothwell’s sister, Taylor, won the barrel-racing event during the stock show’s rodeo for the state’s top high school performers.
