HEBER CITY -- Student athletes of the Utah High School Rodeo Association compete for state championships through Saturday at the Utah High School Rodeo Finals at the Wasatch County Fairgrounds.

The top contestants in 12 events will vie for awards and scholarships in several go-rounds at the state finals, which will be daily at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. The final performance will be at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Winners of the state finals will represent Utah at the National High School Rodeo Finals in Springfield, Ill., July 23-29. Last year, Utah students won the 2000 National Team Championship.

Students compete in such events as bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, barrel racing, breakaway roping, calf roping, team roping, steer wresting, goat tying, pole bending, cow cutting, and the Utah High School Rodeo Queen pageant.

The Utah High School Rodeo Association is a non-profit organization. Students qualify for the state championship contest at rodeos held each weekend during fall and spring seasons.

Media representatives can obtain information and schedule interviews with students, parents and UHSRA officials about the state rodeo finals at a press trailer at the fairgrounds.
