Kash Martin also secured the State Champion title for the second year in a row and along with him will be Reserve Champion Brayze Schill.
A special congratulations to all of the National Qualifiers and also to all those who made the accomplishment of qualifying for State Finals, it takes so much hard works for these athletes to make it here and you need to be able to stay in control and focus on your ability to be consistent once you are here.
Many of the athletes stated that one of their favorite part of State was being able to spend time with all of their friends and family in and out of the rodeo arena. Rodeo is so much more than just the sport itself, it is the family that you achieve when you become a part of it. Everyone you meet, competing against them or not, are amazing people and are always in your corner wishing you the best. With the 2022-2023 High School Rodeo season coming to an end with just one competition left, it is time to prepare for the next thing on your past. So to everyone in the rodeo world, no matter what happened at the last one, keep your head up, work hard, and move on to the next with confidence! Good luck to all of our Region V athletes at National High School Finals Rodeo!
