Hanchey Ties Arena Record at National Western Stock Show Rodeo
By Susan Kanode
For the National Western Stock Show Rodeo
DENVER, Colo. – Shane Hanchey was pretty happy after he saw the time flas on the scoreboard at the National Western Stock Show Rodeo on Thursday night.
The Sulphur, La., tie-down roper made the trip to Denver after competing in the first round at the Fort Worth Stock Show yesterday where he is leading the first round with a 7.9-second run. The momentum carried over to the Denver Coliseum where he stopped the clock in a blazing-fast time of 6.9 seconds. That ties the arena record set here in two years ago by Riley Pruitt from Gering, Neb.
Hanchey was riding his horse “Bam Bam” and both worked flawlessly. He will rope his second calf here at the Friday matinee performance and has a good opportunity to move to the top of the leaderboard in the overall standings here.
The newly-crowned world champion steer wrestler, Tyler Pearson, of Louisville, Miss., is carrying his success forward in Denver. He stopped the clock in 4.4 second Thursday morning to move into second place overall with a total time of 8.2 seconds. He is just two-tenths of a second behind South Dakota’s Taz Olson who has a total time of 8.0 seconds.
There are just five performances left to determine who will qualify for Sunday’s U.S. Bank Championship Finals. Traveling partners Wyatt Denny and Clayton Biglow will be waiting through those five performances to see if they are among the top 12 bareback riders here.
Biglow, from Clements, Calif., scored 86 points Thursday night on Calgary Stampede’s Roll Over to take the lead in the second round and move into third overall with a total score of 167.5. Denny isn’t far behind with 166. The Minden, Nev., resident is currently in sixth place here.
There are two performances of the rodeo in the Denver Coliseum on Friday, at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m.
