West Segment and the West Segment Regulatory Commission honored some of the Mandaree area’s rodeo stars recently.
“We honored our residents who qualified to go to the Indian National Finals Rodeo in Nevada,” said Don McKenzie. “We have a new association called the North Badlands Indian Rodeo Association and these were the first to qualified through the new association.”
Among those honored were Clayton Danks, who qualified in senior breakaway, Megan Danks, in women’s breakaway, Jesse Chase who qualified in team roping and calf roping, Kasen Johnson in junior bullriding, and Myron Johnson, who qualified in bareback. Also honored was Hailey Vigen who was the runner up in INFR Rodeo Queen competition.
