She competed at the Midwest Youth Rodeo Association this weekend

(CLOVERDALE, Ind.) – A South Ripley kindergartner had a big weekend on the barrel racing circuit. 

5-year-old Laikyn Dunn was among the youngest participants at the Midwest Youth Rodeo Association rodeo in Cloverdale, Indiana this past weekend. 

Dunn earned first place in 5 of 7 barrel racing events she competed in. 

She also received her first rodeo belt buckle and it will likely not be her last! 

Laikyn has a bright future in barrel racing as she follows in the footsteps of her big sister, Jordayn, who has earned numerous awards.
