Chadron State College Athletics

He had a particularly outstanding senior year in 1980-81 for the CSC rodeo team. That year, he won the saddle bronc riding at five rodeos in the Great Plains Region, finished second in the event in the regional standings and also was the saddle bronc runner-up at the National College Finals Rodeo.
McIntyre really put on a show at the Chadron State rodeo his senior year. He won the steer wrestling and team roping and was second in saddle bronc riding to easily win the all-around cowboy title. In shades of Monty “Hawkeye” Henson, one of pro rodeo’s top saddle bronc riders in the 1970s, McIntrye usually “bailed” off his saddle broncs at the end of the ride instead of waiting for the pickup men. At a rodeo in Rapid City, he won a Bailey hat in what was called “The Bailey Buck-Off Contest.”  A native of Thedford, McIntyre now lives at Douglas, Wyo., where he works at a coal mine.
