Jake D James is the son of Steve and Mavis James of Daniel, Wyoming. As I mentioned above, Jake has been an active and successful member of the WCHA since he was 8 years old. He has had many successes in the cutting pen, some of which include 4th, 8th, and 9th in the Junior and Senior Youth at the Western National Championships in Ogden, over the years. He was also the Wyoming High School Rodeo State Champion in boy’s cutting and 8th in the Nation at the NHSFR. Along with this, he was 15th in the 20,000 non pro at the ’08 NCHA World Finals. Jake is also a very accomplished student. He is a member of the National Society of High School Scholars, has been on the Pinedale High School Honor Roll for the past 4 years, is a past president and treasurer of the Pinedale FFA Chapter, was a varsity member of the Nordic Ski Team and a member of 4-H. Jake plans on attending the University of Idaho in Moscow, where he will pursue a master’s degree in two fields: business and criminal justice.
Kara J Hatten is the daughter of Dave and Traci Hatten of Wheatland, Wyoming. Kara has also been active and successful in the cutting pen since she was 8 years old. Some of her accomplishments in cutting include; placing 5th in the youth and 15th in the 2000 Limit Rider at the Western National Championships, qualifier for the World Finals in the Junior Youth, Wyoming State High School Rodeo Association girl’s cutting champion and NHSFR qualifier. Kara is also a member of 4-H and a past president, secretary and reporter of the Wheatland FFA chapter. Kara plans on attending Casper college in the fall to study art and pursue a teaching degree in art education. Kara is also planning to study equine massage and chiropractics. Along with these pursuits, she also plans to travel the world and live in van down by the river. (This is what she told me when I interviewed her) The WCHA would like to offer our sincere sympathy to Jon, Colton and Randy Strain and Stacey Warren in the loss of their dear mother and grandmother, Ruth Ellen Strain. Ruth Ellen was a buckle sponsor for the WCHA and supported her family and the sport of cutting in many ways. All if our members will miss seeing Ruth Ellen’s shining face at our Wyoming cutting events and she will be remembered well by us all.
