The duo of Rhonda Kaui and Kristene Sugai won the Wahine Dally Team division in the Kaua‘i All Girls Rodeo Association’s first Kaua‘i Challenge Rodeo held late last month at the Kealia Arena.
The rodeo was a benefit for KAGRA’s long-time sponsor, the YMCA.
The stands were packed with cheering fans as more than 100 cowboys and cowgirls competed for prizes and trophy buckles, KAGRA secretary Linda Antipala wrote in a press release.
Bob Farias, Jr won the Poo-Wai-U division.
Bert Miranda came in second, Pat Brun, Jr. took third and Marcus Laymon finished fourth.
For the keiki, McKenna Murayama took top honors for the Keiki Lead Line Barrels 5 & Under category. Kaena Gracie, Nicole Medeiros, Tyler Iwasaki and Kash Akita also placed in that category.
The money raised from the event was donated to the YMCA yesterday (see related story, right).
