The Carbon Rodeo Club will be heading to St. George Utah for the next three weekends to compete in the Dixie 6 rodeos. This will finish up the fall rodeo season for the rodeo competitors. Carbon has a very strong team this year with many of the kids placing in the top in the state.
Heading into the last of the fall series, Kortney Backus is sitting first in the Queen Contest, winning every competition so far this year, Sadie Waller is sitting 6th in the queen contest and 8th in the reining cow horse, and freshman Jaycee Kraync is sitting 8th in the queen contest. Morgan Jensen, a junior at Carbon High, is coming in first place in the State in the barrel racing event and 8th in the pole bending. Carbon’s Jordon Pierce is 2nd in the state in the trap shoot and 3rd in Light rifle along with Kolton Rhodes who is placing 9th. Jaydun Thomas is sitting 24th in trap shoot, hoping to gain more points this weekend. Steer wrestler Gus Christensen is sitting 23 and Gus and Stash Cornforth are currently 23rd in the Team Roping event as well. Afton McCourt is currently sitting 40th in Breakaway Roping and hoping to move up in the standings after the 3 weekend competition. Currently Carbon has 15 competing members on the rodeo team, and there are about 425 competing members throughout the state.
After the Dixie 6 the team will take a break in the action until April when the Spring series starts back up. The team would just like to congratulate all of the contestants on their outstanding competition, and wish them good luck and safe travels as they head down the road.
