So when they approached us about doing this we said if we come back into that role again we come back together.” In other words they are a package deal.

The former Idaho State national champion didn’t even make the breakaway roping short go round in her final appearance at the College National Finals Rodeo (June 9-15) at the Ford Wyoming Center in Casper. But it was hard to be too disappointed, especially when she could have very easily not even been there in the first place. A little more than four...
