Brandon will be competing in bull riding and Tanner in the build a cowboy bareback riding, build a cowboy saddlebronc riding, bull riding and calf roping.
The BC High School Rodeo Association finals were held in Quesnel where Tanner was not able compete as he had broken fingers but the points he earned throughout the year gave him a spot for Canadian HSR finals.
Both boys are eligible to go the National Finals but opted out of attending.
Kagen joined high school rodeo halfway through the 2021-2022 year for the first time.
After four rodeos he was able to earn a spot in the provincial high school rodeo finals in Quesnel in three events - the team roping, tiedown roping and bull riding.
From the provincials he was able to qualify for the Canadians and the national high school rodeo finals in both tiedown roping and bull riding.
He declined the national finals rodeo as he had already said yes to his provincial rep baseball team as their pitcher.
