STEPHENVILLE (September 26, 2015) — Early leads have been established at the Cowboy Capital of the World PRCA Rodeo, but there is plenty of competition – and lots of world class athletes – still to come at Lone Star Arena.
There are still performances at 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Through slack and the Friday night performance, Manny Egusquiza and Jonathan Torres lead the team roping in 4.6 seconds at the single round event at Lone Star Arena. Coleman Proctor and Stephenville heeler Jake long are second in 4.9.
Marty Yates roped and tied his calf in 7.5 seconds Friday morning and continued as the tie-down roping leader after the Friday night performance. Cimarron Boardman of Stephenville roped Friday evening and is second at 7.9.
Brittany Kelly of Weatherford wowed the crowd by circling the barrels in 15.44 seconds taking the lead away from Lisa Thornton, who posted a 15.49 in slack Thursday evening.
Shane Frey still leads steer wrestling after a 3.6-second run in Friday morning slack.
