Jackson cowgirl Sadie Hotzler is defending her pole bending world title at the Little Britches National Finals Rodeo at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, OK this week. 

She stopped the clock at 20.4 seconds in her first run this year. That was good for third place in the go-round.

She posted a time of 14.179 in her first barrel racing run. 

She did not catch in her first breakaway roping attempt. 

Hotzler already became the 2025 Minnesota High School Pole Bending Co-State Champion during June. 

She also won the Barrel Racing in Verndale, MN, in June and Pole Bending in Sheridan, IL, in March to qualify for the Junior NFR in Las Vegas this December.
