Leaders of the National High School Rodeo Association Wrangler Division appointed Minden resident Wyatt Denny to its All-Star Rodeo Team.
The junior high school team is fashioned after Wrangler's Champion Pro Rodeo Team, which pros like Trevor Brazile, Joe Beaver, Dan Mortenson, Dustin Elliott, Kelly Kaminski, Will Lowe and the late Jim Shoulders.
Denny earned a position on the team based on his leadership qualities, academic eligibility and athletic achievements.
"We are excited to expand Wrangler's rodeo sponsorship program at the middle school level," said Karl Stressman, special events manager for Wrangler Rodeo. "As always, it gives us a tremendous sense of pride to associate the Wrangler brand with promising young men and women. We're confident that each member of the team will be an outstanding goodwill ambassador for the sport of rodeo."
Members of the team receive official competition apparel including a Wrangler 20 X shirt embroidered with the team logo and one pair of competition jeans.
