It was the midst of summer, typically the slow season for newspaper sports departments. In 1992, just more than a year out of college at the University of Colorado, I was working at the Loveland Reporter-Herald as a sports writer.
So here me know and listen to me later: I’m here to pump you up … to turn out for the final two rounds of an exhilarating 2021 Wrangler NFR! I just have to leave the rest up to whatever happens.”Īnd in bull riding, Sage Kimzey and the aforementioned Stetson Wright are engaged in a tight chase. I just keep trying to just be grateful that I am here and be grateful for what I have already accomplished. “You wouldn’t have a heartbeat if you didn’t feel that pressure. “Definitely pressure there,” Briggs said. In barrel racing, three-time defending world champ Hailey Kinsel remains atop the world standings, but second-place Jordon Briggs leads the average. But Shane Hanchey is breathing right down Smidt’s neck. In tie-down roping, Caleb Smidt leads the world standings and is atop the NFR average. So it appears this Battle of the Brothers will run right through Saturday night, and third-place Brody Cress – who leads the average – is trying to apply some pressure, too. In saddle broncs, Stetson Wright and older brother Ryder Wright keep swapping the top spot in the world standings, with Stetson currently on top. “We are at the point now where we need to win, and that’s what we are going to try and do,” Smith said of he and partner Jade Corkill, who snagged their first go-round win of the 2021 NFR on Thursday night. Junior Nogueira, Drigger’s partner, is atop a competitive heeler race. Kaleb Driggers, Dustin Egusquiza and Clay Smith are running 1-2-3 respectively, less than a go-round win apart in the header chase, and others are in the hunt, too. The team roping header and heeler standings remain close. “Those guys all around me are not going to back off, and I can’t either.” “After night, I was second in the average, and I decided if I want a chance to win a gold buckle, I must take chances,” Lummus said after winning Thursday’s go. And hard-charging Will Lummus leads the average, which is about a $70,000 bonus check at week’s end if he stays in the No. 1 in the world standings, but he’s not even a go-round win ahead of Tyler Waguespack. In steer wrestling, Jacob Talley is currently No. “My goals are maybe not exactly how I wrote them down, but they are lining up for the end one pretty good,” Feild said after winning Thursday night, his fourth go-round win of the week. The difference could very well be that, as of right now – prior to the ninth round – Feild is first in the average and Pope second. Kaycee Feild is having a red-hot week of bareback riding, but he’s still got plucky Jess Pope right on his heels in the event.
But there are races galore in the other events. Granted, Stetson Wright has already locked up his third straight world champion all-around cowboy title.
