Competition Winding Down at National Western

By Susan Kanode
For the National Western Stock Show

DENVER – There are just five more performances left at the National Western Stock Show rodeo before the final performance on Sunday where the 2016 rodeo champions will be crowned.

Five performances might seem like a lot, but here it means that 13 of the 19 total have already been completed. Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association events started in the Denver Coliseum Jan. 15. Contestants have two full rounds of competition where their scores and times are added together to determine who will compete at Sunday’s U.S. Bank Championship Finals.

Two contestants that were here the first two performances jumped into the lead in their events and have maintained that position. Shelby Herrmann from Stephenville, Texas, took command in the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association barrel race with runs of 15.35 and 15.30. She leads the overall standings with 30.65, a narrow margin over Colorado’s Ivy Conrado who has a total of 30.68.

In the steer wrestling, Baylor Roche, from Tremonton, Utah is at the top of the leaderboard with a total time of 8.7 seconds. Roche, who qualified for his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo last year is half a second ahead of Nick Guy from Sparta, Wis.

There are new leaders in the team roping after Thursday’s competition. Clay Smith from Broken Bow, Okla., and Paul Eaves from Lonedell, Mo., moved into the top spot with a total time of 10.3 seconds on two head. Adam Rose, from Willard, Mo., and Walt Woodard moved into a tie for second place with Kansas residents Coleman Proctor and Buddy Hawkins, III. Both teams roped two steers in 10.9 seconds. They are all looking good for Sunday’s finals where the lion’s share of the prize money will be paid.

Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association action continues in the Denver Coliseum on Thursday with performances at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m.
