A Teutopolis teenager will compete later this year for National Rodeo Queen.

(BROOKE HALLER)

Brooke Haller, an 11th grade student at Teutopolis High School, has earned a position on the Illinois State National High School Rodeo team. Haller will travel with fellow teammates to Gillette, Wyoming July 16-22 to compete at the 69th Annual National High School Finals Rodeo in the Queen competition.

Featuring more than 1,750 contestants from 43 states, five Canadian provinces and Australia, the NHSFR is the world's largest rodeo. In addition to competing for more than $200,000 in prizes, NHSFR contestants will also be competing for more than $350,000 in college scholarships and the chance to be named an NHSFR World Champion. To earn this title, contestants must finish in the Top 20 (based on their combined times/scores in the first two rounds) to advance to Saturday evening's final round. World champions will then be determined based on their three-round combined times/scores.

Again, this year, the Saturday championship performance will be televised nationally as a part of the Cinch Highschool Rodeo Tour telecast series on RFD-TV. Live broadcasts of each NHSFR performance will also air online at NHSRATV.com. Performance times are 7pm on July 16, and 9am and 7pm each day thereafter.

Along with the rodeo competition and the chance to make new friends from around the world, NHSFR contestants have the opportunity to enjoy shooting sports, volleyball, contestant dances, family-oriented activities, church services sponsored by the Fellowship and Christian Cowboys, and shopping at the NHSFR trade show.
