Following her time in Montrose, Kinlie Brennise climbed to the top of the list of the girls all-around rankings, helped along by wins in pole bending and breakaway roping, as well as back-to-back pole bending victories in Elizabeth.
Some terrific team roping with brother Kasen also claimed a win in Montrose, as the siblings ultimately securing the top ranking in the team event.
Kasen also had an individual win, finishing first in tie down in Montrose’s opening day, while Yampa’s Jace Logan took a victory in steer wrestling the following round.
Montrose saw the most Northwest Colorado competitors, as both bull riders Ty Pinnt and Dillon Burch were in action, as were siblings Madison and Yancey Weber in the team roping, their best result seventh, Madison also fifth in Montrose breakaway. Burns’ Miranda Hammer also earned sixth in pole bending, and Hayden’s Kaitlynn Hayes had her top numbers at 12th in Elizabeth’s goat tying.
In junior high happenings, Craig’s John Harding joined the middle school mix in Montrose, getting fifth in chute dogging. In Elizabeth, Hayden’s Keenan Hayes had dual second-place finishes in bull riding, and Yampa’s Kody Logan took the silver in both team roping and chute dogging the same weekend.
Kody Logan leads the rankings in the boys breakaway roping, and Keenan Hayes has the same distinction in bulls and saddle bronc steers.
Rodeo athletes will go their own ways during the winter season but will be back in action for CSHSRA in Lamar in early April.
