Chadron State College Athletics

Shari placed second in barrel racing in the final National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association standings in 1982-83 and joined with Bunny Pisacka to earn enough points so Chadron State finished fifth in the women’s team standings that year. At the national rodeo in ’83, Shari and her horse, Tonto, won the second go-round and placed second in the finals.
Shari also was the national high school pole bending champion as a senior at Chadron High School in 1980 and was a runner-up in both the poles and the barrels at the National Little Britches Rodeo before that. She has been an escrow system specialist for a title insurance company in Phoenix, Ariz., for a number of years.
