DENVER – Bailey Moody, a ninth grade student at Sanborn Central School, has earned a position on the South Dakota state National High School rodeo team and will be traveling to Rock Springs, Wyo., July 14-20 to compete at the 65th annual National High School Finals Rodeo (NHSFR) in the pole bending competition.
Featuring more than 1,500 contestants from 41 states, five Canadian provinces and Australia, the NHSFR is the world’s largest rodeo. In addition to competing for more than $200,000 in prizes, NHSFR contestants will also be competing for more than $350,000 in college scholarships and the chance to be named NHSFR National Champion.
To earn this title contestants must finish in the top 20, based on their combined times/scores in the first two rounds, to advance to Saturday evening’s final round. National champions will then be determined based on their three-round combined times/scores.
Again, this year, the Saturday championship performance will be televised nationally as a part of the Cinch Town Tour telecast series on RFD-TV. Live broadcasts of each performance will also air online at NHSRATV.com, powered by iHigh.com. Performance times are 7 p.m. on July 14, and 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. each day thereafter.
Along with great rodeo competition and the chance to meet new friends from around the world, NHSFR contestants have the opportunity to enjoy shooting sports, volleyball,  contestant dances, family-orientated activities,  church services sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian Cowboys and shopping at the NHSFR tradeshow.
