Mid-Plains Community College saddle bronc rider Wyatt Kunkee, of Lexington, is the recipient of a $750 NEBRASKAland DAYS Buffalo Bill Rodeo Scholarship. Kunkee was presented with the award during the MPCC Stampede on Saturday at the Wild West Arena.
Money for the scholarship came from a combination of entry fees from NLD’s Cowboy Kickball Competition in June and NLD funds.
MPCC Rodeo Team coaches Dustin Elliott and Garrett Nokes selected Kunkee for the scholarship based on his performance in the arena and classroom, leadership skills, volunteerism and promotion of the team.
