Hastings, Neb. (June 11, 2017) The entry list has been set for the Nebraska State High School Finals Rodeo, to be held in Hastings June 15-17 at the Adams County Fairgrounds.

Nearly 150 high school rodeo athletes will compete in twelve events. The top four competitors in each event at the state level will earn a berth at the National High School Rodeo Finals in Gillette, Wyo., July 16-22, where national champions will be crowned in each event.

Wallace’s Ansley Brown will compete in the pole bending and breakaway roping.

Four contestants from Sutherland have qualified for state: Tristan Haake (breakaway roping), Andrea Meyer (barrels, poles, breakaway and goat tying), Cauy Pokorny (steer wrestling, tie-down roping and team roping) and Arika Starr (barrels and poles.)
