A local contestant at this past weekend's Illinois High School Rodeo Association State Finals has qualified for the national finals.

Kelsi Haller, a senior at Teutopolis High School, qualified for the finals in two events. Haller was champion pole bender and reserved champion barrel racer, qualifying her for competition at the 67th Annual National High School Finals Rodeo.

The national competition is set for July 12-18 in Rock Springs, Wyoming. The event will feature more than 1,500 contestants from 42 states, five Canadian provinces and Australia.
