Big Country juniors earn 4-H accolades
Carl Kieke
Last week I reported on the 4-H Seniors who advanced to the state round-up based on their finish at the District 7 competition. This week, we look at the juniors who finished Top 3 in their events. Juniors do not advance to the state level.
Runnels and Taylor counties picked up quite a few top finishers in a variety of categories, which bodes well for competitions in future years as these members advance to the senior level. Runnels County competitors picked up four top finishers, while Taylor County had three.
Rylee Vahlenkamp was first with her animal science presentation and Braden Hoppe in beef. Both also received division championship recognition. Joining them with first place presentations were Kaylee Scott in horse and Jaxon and Hayze Honensee in ag technology and farm safety. In addition, Paysley Branham was third in animal science.
