BARREL RACING

The ladies lead off once again and the times are fast and you’d better be ready if you are going to run with this group. Nobody from Team Idaho is posted with a time in this performance, which was won by a New Mexico cowgirl in Hadley Tidwell of La Luz, N.M., and her fast time of 17.533 seconds. In second we find Grace Gardiner of Whitesboro, Texas, with a time of 17.877 and in third is Ember Schira of Weyburn, Saskatchewan, Canada with a time of 17.993.

BAREBACK RIDING

Again, nobody from Team Idaho posted a score in this performance, which was won by Will Norstrom of East Helena, Mont., with a nice score of 83. That score put him at the top of the leaderboard in the event, so we will look forward to what he can do with his second performance as he eyes the short go-round later this week. In second is Reece Reder of Fruitdale, S.D., with a score of 65 and in third is Jacek Frost of Browns Valley, Calif., with a score of 64.

BOYS’ COW CUTTING

Idaho’s Ryn Severe cracked the top 10 in this performance, but his score of 132 is 18 points behind the performance leader, Russell Bushaw, so he will have to step things up to make up some ground in this event. First place went to Russell Bushaw, of Weatherford, Texas, with his 150 point score and he was followed by Cooper Mendenhall of Edmond, Okla., at 142 and in third was Kody Ward of Fort Lupton, Colo., who also posted a 142 point score. In fourth place was Will Jones of Allerton, Iowa, with a 140.5 score and in fifth, Montana cowboy Wyatt Fraser of Fromberg, Mont., with 139 points.

BREAKAWAY ROPING

Team Idaho was represented by Harley Beasley in this performance and she blazed down there with a 2.93 second time. The problem was that there were seven others who were just a bit faster, but she is in the game with her time and anything can happen in this event, where the times just keep getting faster and faster. In first place in the performance is Kendal Pierson of Wardlow, Alberta, Canada with a time of 2.6 seconds while Shaeden Marr of Tularosa, N.M., was in second with a time of 2.61 seconds. In third is Chloe Herren of Crooks, S.D., with a time of 2.7 seconds and fourth is Makenzie Mayes of Scroggins, Texas, with a time of 2.76 seconds. Rounding out the top five is Marlee Raby of Mount Vernon, Ark., with a time of 2.78 seconds. To imagine that there were eight contestants in this performance faster than three seconds is almost unheard of. Through five performances, there are 25 cowgirls who have broken the three second barrier on their runs.
