Our young Glenwood cowgirls, Joslyn Arnold and Peyton Sanchey, had a great time at the National Pro Rodeo (NPRA) Finals in Salem last weekend. While the Finals didn’t go as well for Peyton in Barrel Racing as she had hoped, qualifying for the Finals and finishing 9th overall for the year is really something to be proud of. That is pretty amazing considering she just finished high school this year and was competing against women with more many more years of experience than she has. We are so proud of you, Peyton. Things went a bit better for Joslyn in Breakaway Roping. She finished in 2nd place for the year. What an outstanding finish to a long year of rodeos. We here in your hometown are also very proud of you, Joslyn. Now both of these young women head off to their colleges where they’ll continue their education and compete in college rodeo this year. I’ll be sharing news of their college rodeos when they begin the fall season.
