Nikki Vanderlee found out Wednesday that she was headed to the Calgary Stampede.
Because the WPRA decided not to sanction the rodeo this year, the Calgary Stampede decided to hold a qualifier for five competitors to get in. Vanderlee made the fastest run of the entire qualifiers at 15.753 seconds but finished sixth overall. However, the Stampede announced a sixth barrel would be added earlier this week, giving the spot to Vanderlee.
