Kirbee Spire likes to play sports like any teenage girl.
She likes to hang out with her friends like any teenager does.
Spire is just like any other teenage girl ... until she gets on a horse.
There she's in a league of her own.
Spire, a 13-year-old Maryville native, proved she is among the nation's best on a horse when she took first in the girls breakaway roping event at the 2008 Wrangler Junior High Finals Rodeo in Gallup, N.M. It's tough to understate how big of an honor it is to win an event at the WJHFR.
