Pearl River rodeo’s Kate Eiland (Kentwood, La.) and Ian Graham (Meridian; Biloxi) have been named Wildcats of the Week.

KATE EILAND
Eiland wins the award after leading the Pearl River rodeo team to a fourth place finish at the West Alabama rodeo. Eiland made it to the shortgo round in goat tying and turned in a pair time of 8.6 in both of the first and second rounds to finish with an average of 17.2. The strong showing put her in a tie for first place and tallied 165 points for her team.

It’s been a strong start to the season for Eiland as she won first place in breakaway roping in the Missouri Valley College rodeo to open the 2023-24 campaign.

IAN GRAHAM
Graham had a big week for the Wildcats, scoring the first hat trick of his Pearl River career. The freshman scored just six minutes into the evening and followed it up with a pair of second half goals.

So far this season, Graham has scored four goals for the Wildcats.

UP NEXT
