High School Rodeo
Rock Springs High School Rodeo
by Carie Whitman
May 2, 2009
The Rock Springs High School Rodeo was held at the Sweetwater Events Complex April 25th & 26th. Big Piney, Pinedale and LaBarge were all represented by some great cowgirls and cowboys.
Brittney Keiter had rodeo on her mind, and ended up fourth in the barrel racing on Sunday. There were 46 barrel racers from around the state each day competing for points and money. Shyla Hill also ran barrels both days with consistent times. Both girls spend their spare time keeping their horses in shape and ready for the next rodeo.
Amber Robinson of Pinedale was a very busy all-around cowgirl competing in the barrels, goat tying, pole bending and break away roping. Amber has been training on a young barrel horse so she experienced some bad luck this weekend, but we all know Amber and things will change as the season progresses. She also spends her time working her performance horses and looking forward to the next rodeo.
Zac Nenna competed in the team roping both days this weekend. Zac usually ropes a calf in the calf roping, but he admitted he just flat out forgot to enter!
As for the rough stock riders, bareback rider, Austin Doyle, and bull riders, Brady Headrick, Ryan Knapp and Dalton Lantz, had their events held in the outdoor arena in Rock Springs and let’s just say it was a little cold and very muddy!
