Casey Alden, a tenth grade student at Gallatin High School, has earned a position on the Missouri High School Rodeo Team and will be traveling with fellow teammates to Farmington, N.M., from July 20– 26 to compete at the 60th Annual National High School Finals Rodeo (NHSFR)) in the Steer Wrestling competition.
Featuring over 1,500 contestants from 41 states, five Canadian Provinces, and Australia, the National High School Finals is the world’s largest rodeo. In addition, to competing for over $200,000 in prizes, NHSFR contestants will also be vying for more than $325,000 in college scholarships and the chance to be named the National High School Rodeo National Champion. To earn this title, contestants must finish in the top twenty after two go-rounds of intense competition before advancing to Saturday night’s final championship performance.
