PERFORMANCE REPORT

By KATIE HARTER – Performance Reporter

Here in Region One rodeos are starting back up and we are getting ready for our last semester of the 2021/2022 rodeo year. For some this is their last semester of high school rodeos all together. The seniors here in Region One are figuring out what their plans are after high school. Some of the seniors are planning to attend community college, a university, and some have other plans and are not attending college and are going to trade school instead.

In Region One the board of directors are all about helping the kids out. Every year the seniors have the opportunity to apply for the Tri-State Region 1 High School Rodeo Association Scholarship. This is a great opportunity to help the seniors to further their education. The first place boy and girl winner of the scholarship will receive $2,500, second place will receive $1,500, third place will receive $1,000 and everyone else that applies and meets the requirements will receive $250. This gives seniors the opportunity to receive money for them to further their education at college. To meet the scholarship requirements you have to be a member of Tri- State Region One, complete an application, and you have to participate in an interview held at the Region One finals in Vernon Tx. Region One board members truly want the student members to be successful and to be able to do what they want after high school, and this scholarship allows these board members to express that.

There have been many Region One members who receive this scholarship and go on to do great things in college and college rodeo. There are past Region One members that place at almost every college rodeo. The families in Region One do a great job to prepare these kids for their next chapter in life. The seniors right now are figuring out what they want to do after high school, and rodeo is playing a part in that. These kids have to decide where they want to go, what they want to major in, and if they want to keep rodeoing throughout college. This can be a tough decision for some, and others don’t even need to think about it because they already know the answer to it. For some, the thought of having to move away from home and live on their own is scary enough, not to add the fact that if they rodeo they have to take care of their horses and haul all by themselves. This can be very intimidating to some, but others can’t wait to travel by themselves. Deciding to rodeo in college is a big decision and comes with a lot of responsibilities.

The seniors are making their plans for the next chapter in their life, and have the support of all the Region One members. I believe that this second semester of the 2021/2022 rodeo year is going to be great. The kids in Region One are well prepared and ready to get back to rodeoing!
