Wednesday, June 14, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon RODEO: Top cowboys took thousands in purses Continued from page 1 top bull riders for a rich purse and the opportunity to climb in the PRCA world standings. Xtreme Bulls is a popular event, and has been featured at Sisters Rodeo since 2012. In this year’s buck-out Trent Jacobson, from Irwin, Idaho, earned the first finals and aggregate win of his career, and took home his first-ever prize money in an Xtreme Bulls event. Jacobson battled hard, securing the 10th position in the final round with a 73-point ride on a bull called Ozone, owned by the Corey and Lange Rodeo Company, the same bull that turned out an incredible 90-point ride at a spring rodeo in Clovis, California. In the finals, Jacobson covered Anchor Man, a bull ridden only three times for score, to an 85.5, the finals and aggregate championship, and nearly $5,000 in prize money. The full rodeo commenced on Thursday, with cowboys and cowgirls battling each night for a win and their over- all position in the aggregate. On Thursday night, Westyn Hughes of Caldwell, Texas, set a new arena record in tie- down roping with a 7.6-sec- ond run on a sprightly calf in the second go-round, breaking the original mark set by Blair Burk of Durant, Oklahoma in 1997, and tied last year by Matt Shiozawa of Chubbock, Idaho. Friday-night action saw Mat Turner of Gundagai, Australia, turn in a 73.5- point ride in bareback riding for the win, and a 3.7-second steer-wrestling victory by Scott Guenthner of Provost, Alberta. Saturday results saw Jane Melby make an incredible 17.39 run for the barrel rac- ing win, and Nevada cowboy Wyatt Denny finishing in a tie with Clayton Biglow of Clements, California, at 76.5 in the bareback grind. Sunday saw the final round of action and the squaring up of several tight-run contests in the aggregate.

In saddle bronc riding, two-time World Champion Taos Muncy of Corona, New Mexico, who survived a spill at last year’s rodeo when his horse went down, and who has lifetime winnings of nearly $1.5 million in the PRCA, took home a winner’s buckle and $4,300. The 2009 Indian National Finals Rodeo winner Brooks Dahozy of Window Rock, Arizona, and his teammate Jason Duby of Klamath Falls, took home the team-roping title with a 12.7-second time in the aggregate. In barrel racing, Jane Melby from Burneyville, Oklahoma, won a close-run contest over second-place finisher Tillar Murray from Texas. Melby held on by 5/10s of a second at 17.39 for over $4,000 in prize money. The bareback riding crown went to Justin Miller of Billings, Montana, and the tie- down aggregate champion- ship went to Shane Hanchey, at 17.9 seconds, good enough for nearly $4,500. The US Bank All Around Cowboy buckle was awarded to Jordan Ketscher, who was the only contestant to win money in two events. Ketscher, of Squaw Valley, California, pocketed over $1,200 dollars in tie-down and team roping. Fans of Sisters Rodeo, who come from all over the coun- try to enjoy one of the finer rodeo contests in America, proved their own mettle by coming out in droves — in less than ideal weather — to cheer on their favorite rodeo athletes and to support this signature event. As Curt Robinson told The Nugget, “Every event, every performance, had something to offer.
