Amy Ohrt from Victoria and Thomas Willard of Caldwell earned spots at the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming, June 15-21. Amy, a standout in breakaway roping and barrel racing, dominated the Southern Region with top finishes all season. Thomas battled injuries but still claimed runner-up in bull riding. Their coach is proud they’ll represent Wharton County at the finals.
