From Page 22 Tyler Pearson (Atoka, Oklahoma) proved to be unbeatable in steer wrestling. He recorded a phenomenal 4.1-second run in the progressive round and then went on to deliver a lightning-fast 3.83-second effort in the Triple Crown of Rodeo round. This is Pearson’s second WCRA victory, with his first win in 2019 at the Windy City Roundup. The saddle bronc riding was a slugfest as Chase Brooks (Anaconda, Montana), Cash Wilson (Wall, South Dakota), and Cole Elshere (Wall, South Dakota) battled for the first-place spot. Brooks was the first contestant to go, and he set a high bar by defeating Cowboy Town with a score of 83 points. Elshere recorded a score of 83.5 in the same round. Wilson was the last to compete, and he managed to edge Elshere’s score with a score of 87.5, defeating his opponent’s hopes of cashing in the $15,000 payday. Keslie Domer (Dublin, Texas) delivered the only qualified time in breakaway roping with a stealth 2.15-second time. Domer ran a 2.00-second time in progressive round. Domer collected the ground money, and her first-place win and $23,500 in weekly earnings. This is Domer’s second WCRA Title (2020 Royal City Roundup). Jarvis Demery (Beggs, Oklahoma) won the tiedown title at courtesy of his 7.52-second run in the Triple Crown of Rodeo Round.
