Borgmann trio claims team penning event title at SDRA finals

RAPID CITY — White Lake’s Paul, Lindsay and Collin Borgmann took first place in the South Dakota Rodeo Association Finals team penning event Sunday in Rapid City.

There were three rounds and the winners of each event were decided by an average score.

The trio finished with a score of 147.4, beating second place by 20.6 points.

Paul said he has been riding with his son, Collin, and daughter, Lindsay, for two years.

“It’s really a thrill to do it with my kids riding with me and it’s been a lot of fun,” he said. “The finals rodeo is the biggest rodeo of the year. You work all summer to get there and winning really built our confidence, and we’re looking forward to getting ready for next season.”

The Borgmanns finished in sixth place in the year end standings.
