WyoPreps spoke to the sister-brother duo about their efforts at the state finals. We asked Hadley about scoring in all five events and placing first in goat tying, and she discussed the conditions during the competition. Turek described his feelings on capturing the bulldogging and his team roping weekend as the header. We asked both Thompsons about reaching the NHSFR.

Congratulations to Hadley and Turek on being selected as the WyoPreps Athletes of the Week!
