BISMARCK (AP) — Bismarck’s Britany Fleck is making history at the National Finals Rodeo, which gets under way Thursday in Las Vegas.
Fleck is the first North Dakota woman to qualify for the event in barrel racing.
The 28-year-old Fleck is 12th in the world standings. She clinched a spot in the National Finals Rodeo during the final weekend of the season at a rodeo in Omaha, Neb. She began that weekend ranked 16th, and only the top 15 qualify.
Fleck is the only North Dakotan competing in this year’s 10-day finals.
