BILLINGS — Joliet’s Linden Schenk maintained her hold on the All-Around Cowgirl lead in the Montana High School Rodeo Association standings, while Mitch Detton of Great Falls took over the All-Around Cowboy lead following a good weekend in Shelby.
Detton was the boys all-around winner at the Shelby #1 rodeo after winning steer wrestling and placing third in both team roping and tie down roping. Detton’s showing in Shelby allowed him to leapfrog previous leader AJ Swenson of Huntley and second-place Ryder Gaasch of Dillon in the overall all around cowboy standings.
Miles City (April 27) and Three Forks (April 27-28) are scheduled to host events this weekend.
The state rodeo finals are scheduled for June 3-8 at the Majestic Valley Arena in Kalispell. Contestants are competing for points to qualify for the state finals, and the top four from each event following the finals will compete at the National High School Rodeo Finals July 14-20 in Rock Springs, Wyo.
