Four Ringgold county teens have qualified for the National High School Finals rodeo after competition at the state rodeo finals held June 7-9 in Waterloo. National qualifiers include Riley WEEHLER, first place in team roping and fourth in calf roping; Morgan QUICK, second in cutting; Logan WIMER, third place in cutting; and Cody STACKHOUSE, third place in steer wrestling. Also competing at state was Ashton JOHNSON. All are students at Mount Ayr Community high school.

WEEHLER and his partner Payden DAWSON were crowned state champions in team roping.

Competitors accumulate points from 10 qualifying rodeos through out the year to earn a spot in the state finals. The top four in each event after the finals will represent Team Iowa at the 65th annual National High School Rodeo Finals in Rock Springs, Wyoming July 14-20.

More than 1,500 contestants from 41 states, five Canadian provinces and Australia comprise the National Finals Rodeo, the largest rodeo in the world.

Participants will compete for more than $200,000 in prizes and over $350,000 in college scholarships. Contestants must finish in the top 20 in their events based upon their combined times/scores in the first two rounds to advance to Saturday evening final round. National champions will be determined based on their three-round combined scores.

Saturday's championship performance will be televised nationally as part of the "CinchTown Tour" series on RFD-TV. Live broadcasts of each performance will also air online at NHSRATV.com.
