Rodeo 1

Coy Gunderson, a junior high schooler from Murdock, MN and 2016 Minnesota Junior High School Rodeo Association bull riding champion, fights to stay on the back of a bull at the 2018 junior high state finals rodeo competition at the Nicollet County fairgrounds Sunday. The fairgrounds marked the last stop for the high school and junior high school athletes vying for spots for Minnesota's national team, which went to the top four contestants in each event over the course of the season.
