            He has won more than a dozen buckles, four saddles, as well as cash and prizes. Based on his performance at the State Finals, he was awarded a $2,000 scholarship from the Utah High School Rodeo Association.


            Emma also just graduated from Gunnison Valley High School and has been a member of the high school rodeo team for four years. She is a three-time state qualifier and this year qualified in barrel racing and pole bending. She was awarded a $1,000 scholarship from the Utah High School Rodeo Association.

Trey received $2,000 and Emma $1,000. Emma placed first in the first performance of barrel racing at the event.


            She placed first in barrel racing in the first performance at state and competed hard all weekend, placing in the top 15 out of over 60-barrel racers.
