Kittitas County High School Rodeo

The Washington State High School Rodeo Association is a state-wide association of high school students, grades 9 through 12, who participate in rodeos held throughout the state.  While rodeo is not recognized as a regular high school varsity sport, no other athletic activity in history was ever developed which so embodies the traditions and history of an entire way of life. One of the most unique aspects of high school rodeo is that these athletes compete on the same stock that is used by Amateur Rodeo Association Contestants. The cowboy or cowgirl and the animals used in rodeo compete against themselves and the clock, as much as they compete against each other.
