Who are the best high school cowboys and cowgirls in the world?

The Sweetwater Events Complex in Rock Springs is hosting the 2013 version of the High School National Finals Rodeo, which runs from July 14th-20th.

Several thousand competitors from across the US, and beyond the borders will get two runs in their event, and then hopefully be one of the top 20, which will get them an invite to compete in the championship short-go.

Not only is there individual glory, state pride is on the line, as points are tallied for each state, for boys, girls and combined.

In 2012, the Team Wyoming Girls placed 2nd nationally, while Teal Stoll of Pavillion finished as the National Runner-Up in the pole bending.

Competition starts at 7pm on Sunday, July 14th, with round 1, which will run through about noon-time on Wednesday (9am and 7pm competitions everyday after Sunday).

Round 2 starts Wednesday night and runs through about noon-time Saturday, July 20th.

The championship short-go starts at 7pm on Saturday.

Results will be posted as we get them.

Since rodeo is not a varsity sport...competitors do not have to compete for the state they live in.

They are allowed to cross the border.

If someone was scheduled to ride, but are not listed...assume they took a no score/no time.
