Lucy qualified for high school rodeo provincials in goat tying.
When Austin says we are leaving for Stettler at 4:50 am, we leave the driveway at 4:52 am.
After an early morning drive, finding a parking spot, and going to the mandatory contestant meeting and group picture, Lucy made her first goat run. She was 8.5 seconds which put her in a 3-way tie for 10th place.
The second day Lucy made a 7.8 second run, which was a personal best, and put her in a 3-way tie for 4th/5th/6th place.
Saturday night was the rodeo grad banquet. They introduced the graduates one by one as they walked in under the horseshoe arch. We had a delicious roast beef dinner. Then they had the graduates line up again, and they gave them each a graduation diploma and some received scholarships and they announced what each graduates plans were after graduation.
Lucy received the AHSRA raffle scholarship ($1375 for all the raffle tickets she sold) and the AHSRA merit scholarship for $1,000.
On Sunday morning, we went to the Stettler branch for church but only had time to take the sacrament before we left for the rodeo. Our family has chosen not to compete on Sunday during the regular season, which makes it harder to earn enough points to get to provincials but it still has worked for everyone, and then we have decided if they make it provincials, they will compete on Sunday.
For Lucy's third and final goat run of her competitive rodeo career, she was 8.9 seconds.
We left the rodeo as soon as Lucy was finished her event so she could make it back to take grad pictures in Waterton with her friends.
