State rodeo on horizon for Fifth District hands

District finals completed at Gooding


Wood River rodeo club members Ashley Smith and Natalia Ferris (girls’ cutting) and Tara Rushton (queen, barrel racing) have qualified for state rodeo competition.

After a full spring schedule of Fifth District High School rodeos, they were among the top six finishers in the season standings of their events. So they earned trips to state rodeo June 18-23 in Pocatello.

In a very close race, Smith and Ferris finished 1-2 in the girls’ cutting standings. Rushton, tied for sixth in barrel racing for the season, also won the Fifth District queen contest ahead of Jerome’s Rachel Cox.

The final Fifth District standings were determined at the district finals May 24-26 in Gooding.

Winning the season all-around cowboy and cowgirl titles were Dan Webb of Wendell (182 points), with Austin Turner (164) of Gooding second, and Italy Jo Eames of Gooding (331), with Amy Walker of Glenns Ferry (328.5) a close second.

High-point rookies were Sam Bray of Bliss (37 points) and Eames (331).

At the Gooding district finals, Walker edged Eames 54-51 for all-around girls’ honors at that rodeo and Webb slipped past Turner 40-34.

In go-rounds at the Gooding district finals, Ashley Smith made the top six in barrel racing and polebending, and Rushton clocked a fourth-place barrel racing time.

Meanwhile, in another season-ending honor on the circuit, the Glambia scholarships given for the highest grade-point averages combined with the top all-around Fifth District rodeo points went to Austin Turner and Italy Jo Eames.
