STEPHENVILLE (November 14, 2016) — Kassie Mowry set an American Airlines Center record Friday night, but the prestigious barrel racer and horse trainer knew they could go faster.

On Sunday, they did just that, re-establishing her own two-day-old mark by racing through the cloverleaf in 12.793 seconds in the final round of the inaugural Elite Rodeo Athletes Championship in downtown Dallas.

Mowry swept the three rounds of the ERA Championship, breaking the old record with a time of 12.91 in Round 1 on Friday, then winning again in 13.028 in Round 2 Saturday before establishing the new record in Round 3.

Victory is no stranger to Mowry, who won high school and college national championships, won world championships in the American Quarter Horse Association and Barrel Futurities of America, and reached the National Finals Rodeo in 2005. In 2008, she was the winningest barrel horse trainer in the nation with nine horses earning at least $250,000 each, according to an article published by Spin To Win Magazine.

The cowgirl wasn’t the only local athlete celebrating in Dallas over the weekend.

Three competitors from the Cross Timbers Region wrapped up ERA World Championships with Clay Tryan and Jade Corkill winning the first two rounds of the finals to secure the team roping title and Cort Scheer putting a bow on his saddle bronc riding crown.

Marty Yates won the second round of the finals after placing second in the third round. He finished fourth in Sunday’s finale. Cody Ohl of Hico was also in the mix, putting behind him a ninth-place run in Round 1 by taking second and third in the remaining rounds.

Turtle Powell, header of Stephenville, and Jhett Johnson won the team roping in Round 3.
