National Little Britches Rodeo Association board of director announces contestant selection for the 2022 Junior Ironman.
Senior boys ages 14-19 battled it out in over 500 sanctioned NLBRA rodeos nationwide. The race came to a close at the 2021 Little Britches finals July 5-11 at the Lazy E. After a tough season of competition, the five NLBRA constituents for the 2022 Junior Ironman were reviewed and recommended by the committee and approved by the full board. The young men were chosen on the merits of points accrued in the 5 events, the level of competition and location during the season. These five young cowboy and five more chosen via a selection process through the Lazy E will have their chance at glory and compete at the 6th annual Jr. Ironman Championship, a building ground for young guns who aspire to one day compete at the Timed Event Championships.
Congratulations to:
