Simply the Best: Several Texas Tech Teams Won National Titles This Year
December 13, 2012
One of them was the meat judging team, which earned its 10th national championship.
Several Texas Tech teams had to make more room in their trophy cases in 2012, bringing national championships back to campus.
The year started with the Texas Tech School of Law winning a couple of national titles, and ended in November with the meat judging team winning its 10th championship. In between, the women's rodeo (the team's first in school history) and chess (the team's second straight) team also were named national champs.
The following is a closer look at Texas Tech's top teams:
Meat Judging Team
Texas Tech students earned the school’s 10th national championship in meat judging yesterday (Nov. 18) at the American Meat Science Association’s International Meat Judging Contest held in Dakota City, Neb.
Chess Team
The Texas Tech University Knight Raiders are national champions – again. For the second straight year the Knight Raiders won the President’s Cup, a premier event that is known as the Final Four of College Chess and determines the country’s top intercollegiate team.
Women's Rodeo Team
The Texas Tech women’s rodeo team made school history late Saturday (June 16) night, winning its first national championship at the 64th annual College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) in Casper, Wyo.
