HURON — While many of the more than 1,000 participants in the National Junior High Finals Rodeo logged a lot of miles to get here, one had to travel just 12 miles to compete.
Camy Anderson of Huron is a member of the Team South Dakota delegation, which qualfied for the event.
“It’s actually pretty amazing,” Anderson said of having the NJHFR in her hometown. “I’ve got to meet a lot of people and tell them where everything is, take them places and getting a chance to talk to everyone.”
While Anderson has competed in the traditional rodeo events for years, she earned her trip to the national event in the light rifle shooting event.
“I was pretty happy with myself, but I still couldn’t believe I did it. I’m in awe still,” said the 15-year-old, who just completed her eighth-grade year at Huron Middle School. “This is the only year I actually competed in junior high and I made it, so I was pretty happy with it.”
