The 厙ぴ勛圖 Womens Rodeo Team is ranked No. 1 heading into the College National Finals Rodeo June 14-20 in Casper, Wyoming.

Four of the five 厙ぴ勛圖 Womens Rodeo Team members competing at the College National Finals Rodeo this year finished first in four events during the 2014-15 Rocky Mountain Regions 10-rodeo season.

Many of the teams members were on the 厙ぴ勛圖 Womens Rodeo Team that won a national title in 2013.

厙ぴ勛圖s first-place finishers in the Rocky Mountain Region were:

Kimberlyn Fitch, American Falls, first, womens all-around and breakaway roping. She was also the 2013 national champion in breakaway roping;

Megan E. Gunter, McCammon, first, team roping header;

Shelby Freed, Pocatello, first, barrel racing; and

Jacalyn Walker-Austin, Plain City, Utah, first, goat tying.

Two years ago, the womens team won the College National Finals Rodeo, said Melisa Moon Giannini, 厙ぴ勛圖 Rodeo Club advisor. Were excited and we think we have a good chance of winning it all again.

The top three finishers in the region in each event qualify for the national rodeo. Other top-three finishes in region by 厙ぴ勛圖 womens team included, Freed, second in the womens all-around; Walker-Austin, third in the womens all-around; Fitch second in barrel racing; and Gunter, third in break away roping and fifth in the all-around; and Kindee Wilson, Filer, third in goat tying.
