Here are the Round 2 day winners in each of the seven events:
Bareback Riding – Scott Montague
Steer Wrestling – Ronnie Fields
Team Roping – Shain Sproul / Kinney Harrell
Saddle Bronc Riding – Rusty Allen
Tie-Down Roping – Cade Swor
Barrel Racing – Shali Lord
Bull Riding – Zeb Lanham
After only two steer wrestlers put up sub-4 scores on Friday, six competitors accomplished this feat on Saturday – that’s some serious bulldogging. This led to some “businessman” rides later in the round, as those competitors shifted their focus from the day money to putting up solid (if unspectacular) runs to keep themselves in the 10-round average competition.
In the bull riding competition, after eight cowboys finished rides on Friday, only four riders were able to stay on the full eight seconds in Round 2. Zeb Lanham rode Fender Bender to a big score of 94.
