Shelby Meged on The Breakdown Podcast

Despite a difficult summer, Meged’s determination never wavered. She committed to practice with hauling partner Kendal Pierson ahead of Sioux Falls, and called her dad in to convince her to throw on her second swing out of the box.

In Sioux Falls, Meged faced an elite group of competitors in the final four-man round, including Kelsie Domer, TiAda Gray, and Jackie Crawford, but her precision and mental toughness paid off.

As the rodeo season continues, Meged remains one to watch, with her eyes firmly set on further accolades and the coveted gold buckle.
