Fallon puts on successful high school rodeo

The Fallon High School rodeo team held its only rodeo of the season last weekend at the fairgrounds with 12 members placing in the top 10 .

Many children were also able to watch the rodeo. The rodeo team gave passes to social services to distribute to families whose children have never been to a rodeo. This gave the children a chance to watch the cowboys and cowgirls.

A Fallon cowboy also had some bad luck. Taylor Ethridge was dragged along the fence while bareback riding. He walked away, but he suffered a broken arm.

The following results are for Fallon's cowboys and cowgirls:

Barrels: Chelsea Hubner placed first on Saturday in 18.258 seconds and first on Sunday in 17.557. Marisa Julian took fifth on Sunday in 18.258, and Morgan Howard came in 10th on Sunday in18.472.
