Cooper Sims, 15, guided his llama, Volario, to a win in the Leaping Llama exhibition, which took place Friday. Sims, a sophomore at Carmel High School, said this is the third or fourth time Valario has competed in the Leaping Llama event, but the first time he’s won. Valario cleared around four feet to get the victory.
Ellie Jaensson, 17, is shown here with her llama Saxton. Jaensson, a junior at Noblesville High School, is in her eighth year with the Llama Trekkers, on her way to being a 10-year member. While she enjoys showing llamas, especially the obstacle course, she does take time to enjoy fair food as well, such as milkshakes and corn on the cob.
