National High School Rodeo Association Joins the Alltech Ag Network on iHigh
Imagine sitting in a Parisian cafe with a warm drink in hand, not people-watching but cheering on a cowboy as he takes on a chute fighter. This unexpected scene is a possibility now that U.S., Canadian and Australian youth have a new online network that will enable them to share the heart-pounding thrill of the rodeo globally. In joining the the Alltech Ag Network on iHigh.com®, the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) has a feature-rich platform that will enable them to post news articles, share photos and video clips, and even live-stream broadcast their events online and to mobile devices.
“The Alltech Ag Network is eager to begin working with the National High School Rodeo Association in sharing its story with a global audience. It’s important for us to communicate the personality, passion and fun that exists within the agriculture community,” said Billy Frey, general manager of the Alltech Ag Network.

National finals rodeo: Hannum wins big
Wrangler National Finals Rodeo rookie steer wrestler Olin Hannum won his first check of the week -- $17,885 -- for his 3.8-second run to win Round 7 on Wednesday in action at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Hannum, a Plain City native now living in Malad, Idaho, topped Todd Suhn by just one-tenth of a second for the victory.
"I was really excited," Hannum said. "It feels like forever when you're sitting in there throwing (the steer). I felt like he hung up on me a little bit, too. I'm just excited that I've got something in the bank."
