The West Coast Roping Association (WCRA) celebrated their Finals once again at S Bar J Arena in Sanger, Calif. The event took place over the long weekend of September 12th-15th. Tanner Kent was the high point winner of the Super 6 Trailer Roping and he elected to take the cash buyout of $5,000 instead of the trailer. $3,000 cash was awarded to the high point Incentive Ropers on Saturday and Sunday and they were Barbara Kenney and Cole Dodds. Cody Robbins was awarded the JH Sanders Customer Appreciation trailer.
WCRA would like give thanks to all of the ropers who have supported WCRA and to our sponsors: Wrangler, Fast Back, Cactus Gear, Mojo Roping Dummies, Ropers Sports News, JH Sanders, Bob Berg Buckles and Running P Ropes & Saddles.
