(Oklahoma City-AP) -- A Luther teenager who was injured following a barrel racing event at a rodeo in Harrah last Saturday, has died.
Amanda Jo Westermier died about 11:30 Thursday night at OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City.
The 14-year-old Westermier was a freshman at Wellston High School.
She had just run the best barrel racing time of her life - 16.28-seconds and was leaving the arena when an accident caused her horse to roll over on her.
A spokesman at the state Medical Examiner's office says the cause of death has not been determined.
