Chelsie McDade, 18, of Selinsgrove, has her surgically repaired knee checked out by Dr. Gregory Fanelli, a Geisinger orthopedic surgeon, who repaired her torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments last year. McDade, who missed last year-s National High School Finals Rodeo championships due to the knee injury, will compete later this month in New Mexico as one of the top high school rodeo competitors.

Area rodeo competitor has knee repaired

McDade did just that even though she was well behind her counterparts who already had 10 competitions under their belts.

McDade was able to qualify for the state finals at the annual Pennsylvania State Farm Show, where she broke though with great performances in goat tieing, team roping and break away roping to reach nationals for a fourth time.

I'm definitely ready'

This time, McDade will have her chance to compete in hope of achieving her goal of being among the top 20 girls in the country. A feat she has yet to accomplish.

"I'm definitely ready," McDade said. "I was pretty confident my junior year, but the injury took care of that. I don't know if I'm stronger than last year, but I feel as strong."

The 2008 National High School Finals Rodeo will be held July 20-26 in Farmington, New Mexico.

To check on McDade's performance, as well as other local riders Robbi Nace, 18, of Selinsgrove, and Jacob Wenrich, 16, of Beavertown, visit www.nhsra.com.
