Tarleton Breakaway Roper Gears up for College National Finals Rodeo
Maddy Deerman realized she was a pretty good roper around the sixth grade.
“It’s hard to do roping when you’re really young,” she said. “You need to be a little bigger. When I got to junior high, I was able to up my game a little, to take shots from farther away, to take stronger swings and reach out a little farther.”
