Makayla Jacobs Wins National Title For Poles

At this rate, the Jacobs family might need to build another house to store all of the buckles and saddles that are piling up.

Makayla Jacobs, who will be entering the seventh grade at Sarracino Middle School, became a national champion in the rodeo sport of pole bending earlier this month.

Jacobs, 12, beat 167 other girls between sixth and eighth grades at the week-long Wrangler Junior High School Finals Rodeo in Gallup. With the win, she earned her eighth saddle, as well as another buckle to add to an already impressive collection.
