Cowgirl Hotlist

The 2020 National High School Finals Rodeo (NHSFR) is well under way at the Lazy E. The competition began last Friday night in Guthrie, Oklahoma and will continue through July 23. To say these young men and women are ones to watch is an understatement. With over 1,404 contestants, the competition is stiff for the next generation of cowboys and cowgirls. They will be the next world champions, record setters and rodeo contestants we watch for decades to come.  Although we still have quite a few more days of rodeo, here are the top ranked cowboy or cowgirl of each performance.
