East Oregonian SPORTS ROPES: Local cowgirls have strong showing in barrel racing on Wednesday Thursday, September 13, 2018 top 15. He has yet to win a world championship title. As soon as he won Wednesday’s event, he called his dad, a rancher back home in Montpelier. “He was really excited when I told him,” he said. “My goal for Saturday is to keep it simple: Just stay on, and don’t overthink it.” Continued from 1B pete for the top spot again this Saturday, but he says he’s more eager than nervous. This year alone, he’s won rodeos in Wyoming, Colorado, Texas, Washing- ton, Canada, and his home state. “I’m looking forward to Saturday,” he said. “I’m just gonna focus on myself and my calf.” Bareback Saddle bronc Isaac Diaz and Bro- ken Bulb have made good teammates in the past. In two previous pairings at the Magic Valley Stampede in Filer, Idaho, Diaz said he scored a pair of 80s. But the rider from Des- demona, Texas, and the bronc from Sankey Rodeo had their best outing yet on Wednesday, putting an 83.5 score on the board and set- ting Diaz up with a good shot at money again on Saturday. The win was a big deal for Diaz, who faced off against a packed field of PRCA contenders, includ- ing brothers Ryder and Rusty Wright who are sec- ond and fourth, respectively, in the world standings. Diaz is wedged between the two at No. 3, and is opti- mistic about his first chance at a Round-Up title. “It’s not just about the Wrights,” he said “Every guy out there is capable of making the long round.” Ryder Wright and Joey Sonnier III each put up scores of 81.5, and Tyrell J. Smith scored an 80.5. Staff photo by E.J. Harris Kristine Knauf of Chilton, Wisconsin, races towards the finish line for a 29.54-second time in barrel racing Wednesday at the Pendleton Round-Up. Bull riding Wednesday’s bull rid- ing event was off to a slow start. The first several rid- ers couldn’t hang on long enough and received no time, and Hollywood stunt- man-turned-cowboy Dylan Vick Hice was the first to place, setting the record with a score of 80.0. But that wasn’t enough to deter 20-year-old Koby Radley as he mounted his bull. “I knew I had a good shot going in today,” said the Louisiana rider. “I drew a really good bull, and this is my favorite rodeo of the year.” Radley earned an aver- age score of 85.5 to win the day’s main event, edging out Gumby Wren (83.5) and Jordan Hansen (82.5). Ty Breuer made a good case for a trip to the National Finals Rodeo with a Day 1 win at the Round-Up, scoring an 82 on American Thumper of Outlaw Buckers. Breuer is No. 12 in the world standings and edged out Nate S. McFadden (81) and Jake Sterno (80.5) for the win. Kaycee Feild, a four- time world champion and seventh in the world stand- ings, was beset with bad luck. After scoring 60, he took a re-ride and couldn’t do much better, posting a 69. “I was behind from the get-go,” he said. Steer wrestling Staff photo by Kathy Aney Stan Branco, of Chowchilla, California, steer wrestles Wednesday at the Pendleton Round-Up. Radley is currently No. 18 in the bull riding world standings — just a few thousand dollars shy of the It was a competition full of penalties and no-times during Wednesday’s bull- dogging event. Stetson Jorgeson, Tanner Milan and Sean Stantucci all failed to conquer their steers, and Andy Weldon added a ten-second penalty to his 9.0-second time for break- ing the barrier. This left the doors wide open for Rigby, Idaho, native Dirk Tavenner to claim victory for the day, taking his steer down in Page 3B 11.1 seconds. Tavenner is relatively new to the pro rodeo scene — he hasn’t won a world title yet, and has only won three rodeos so far this year: the Nile Pro Rodeo in Billings, Mont., the Sand- ers County Fair in Plains, Mont., and California’s Ramona Rodeo. He’s cur- rently ranked as the No. 24 steer wrestler in the world. Barrel racing Several local cow- girls took to the Pendleton Round-Up Arena to com- pete for Wednesday’s top barrel racing spot. Stanfield’s Sandra Eng opened the event, clocking in at 35.09 seconds. Hep- pner’s Susan Gibbs fin- ished in 29.78 seconds, and Echo’s Bobbie Correa fin- ished with a 30.39-second time. Although some came close, none of the main event riders could beat out Walla Walla native Kacey Gartner’s slack time of 28.75 seconds. Gartner is No. 119 in the Women’s Pro Rodeo Association world standings but set the high mark on Pendleton’s unique grass arena. Steer roping Vin Fisher Jr. and Cody Lee were the only two cow- boys to punch times on Wednesday, with Fisher clocking in at 13 seconds and Lee at 22.5 seconds. The nine other steer either escaped the rope or refused to be tripped. Trevor Brazile leads the aggregate with 27.3 seconds after two rounds of slack.
