Karsyn Chesley of Harrisburg is the Nebraska High School Rodeo State Light Rifle Champion, earning this honor at the state finals competition held in Valentine in June. The top honors earned her belt buckles, a Yeti cooler and a trophy saddle plus the right to compete in the National High School Rodeo Finals in Rock Springs, Wyoming in July where she finished 38th out of 145 competitors.
