Kyler Wells, a rising sophomore at Chattooga High School, is lassoing success in the demanding world of rodeo. Wells recently completed his inaugural season with the Georgia High School Rodeo Association (GHSRA) with impressive results, placing 3rd in the state in tie down roping and 5th in team roping, alongside partner Cooper Rice from Nashville, GA. He also captured the coveted title of Rookie All-Around Cowboy. His 3rd place finish in tie down roping has earned him a coveted spot at the 2025 National High School Finals Rodeo (NHSFR), the world’s largest high school rodeo competition, held July 13-19 at the Sweetwater Events Complex in Rock Springs, Wyoming. The NHSFR draws top talent from 41 U.S. states, 5 Canadian provinces, and Australia. The GHSRA, an affiliate of the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA), offers students across Georgia the opportunity to embrace the time-honored traditions and unwavering grit of the cowboy lifestyle. Unlike conventional high school sports, rodeo is an individual pursuit, with no team or coach to guide the athletes. Kyler’s achievements are a testament to the unwavering support of his family, his unwavering personal discipline, and the countless hours of relentless hard work he has invested. He also carries on a family legacy, as the grandson of Charlie and Wanda Lowry, the founders of 4L Rodeo. He now sets his sights on Wyoming, ready to represent Chattooga High School and the state of Georgia on the national stage.
