Fallon’s young rodeo athletes demonstrated exceptional skill and determination at the 2025 Nevada State High School Rodeo Finals, held in Winnemucca. Their efforts earned spots in prestigious national competitions, underscoring the strength and tradition of the local rodeo community.
Junior high competitor Clayton Hiibel earned state championships in both Breakaway Roping and Team Roping. His top finishes qualified him for the National Junior High Finals Rodeo (NJHFR), scheduled for June 22–28 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines. Hiibel and his Ribbon Roping partner, Jordan Process of Fernley, also placed fourth in the state, earning them a trip to nationals in that event as well.
Hiibel additionally qualified for the Silver State International Rodeo (SSIR), set for June 30–July 7 in Winnemucca. He will compete in Goat Tying and Chute Dogging.
High school competitors Wyatt Peek and Caleb Edgmon delivered strong performances in Team Roping, qualifying for the National High School Finals Rodeo (NHSFR), which will be held July 13–19 at the Sweetwater Events Complex in Rock Springs, Wyoming.
