Goodrich wins all-around title in St. Paul Rodeo |
Brad Goodrich scored the
all-around title Thursday with a tie for first in calf roping at the
72nd annual St. Paul Rodeo.
Goodrich, of Hermiston, recorded a time of 9.7 seconds, the same
time of J. Cody Jones of Kelseyville, Calif. Goodrich managed the
all-around title due to a coin flip. In most professional rodeo
events, when two competitors tie atop the standings in an event, a
coin is flipped and one wins the all-around title (Goodrich) and the
other wins a belt buckle (Jones).
Jess Davis of Payson, Utah scored an 87 to win the bareback
competition and pocketed $10,580.62 by riding Lone Wolf of Western
Rodeos. Davis currently ranks third in the world rankings.
Matt Marvel defended his St. Paul Rodeo title in the bronc riding
competition by scoring an 88 to win $12,162.37. Last year, Marvel
won $10,659 in the event.
B.J. Schumacher won the bull riding event by riding “God’s Gift” of
John Kish who supplies many of the Growney Brothers bulls.
Schumacher is the reigning world champion in bull riding and won
$248,000 in prize money last year. Schumacher earned $12,034.25 in
total prize money.
In the steer wrestling competition, Clayton Hass won the event with
a time of 3.8 seconds, narrowly missing the St. Paul Rodeo arena
record of 3.5 seconds. He beat out 79 other competitors in the event
to walk away with $6,556.66.
Allen Bach and his partner Chad Masters won the first go round team
roping event in 5.3 seconds. Bach, the reigning world champion, won
the same event last year with a different partner. The second
go round winners were Jake Stanley and Russell Cardoza in 5.5
seconds.
In the third go round was the combined times of the first two go
rounds and the winners were Stanley and Cardoza in 11.4 seconds.
Masters and Bach finished second in 11.9 seconds. Stanley and
Cardoza won $4,543.30 apiece
In the women’s barrel racing, a Professional Women’s Barrel Racing
event, Brittany Pozzi-Pharr, the winner of the same event last year
in St. Paul, won in 17.19 seconds. Pozzi-Pharr also had the
distinction of being the first rider to compete in any event in this
year’s St. Paul Rodeo. Pozzi-Pharr, who ranked second in the world
standings prior to the St. Paul Rodeo, was awarded $6,583 for her
victory.
Notes: The lone complete sellout of a performance of the
rodeo occurred Tuesday night.
“That’s traditionally pretty consistent,” said St. Paul Rodeo
secretary Kevin Smith. “That’s when people seem to like to come out
of the most.”
