Clayton Sellars Makes Big Moves in Bracket 2 to Secure Semifinals Qualification in San Antonio

Two consecutive wins at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo locked Clayton Sellars into the Semifinals

Bull rider Clayton Sellars is heading to the Semifinals in San Antonio with just under $8,600 earned after securing two Go-Round wins in Bracket 2.

Sellars finished out Round 1 in second place with an 83.5-point ride, following behind Jace Trosclair. His first win of the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo came out of Round 2 where he matched up with Big Rafter Rodeo’s She Devil to lock in his second check with a ride of 85.5 points.

When Sellars saw Legacy Rodeo’s Grey Earle next to his name for the match up in Round 3, he knew he had a great shot at a consecutive Go-Round win.

“I won Tremonton, Utah on that same bull this past summer so to have him by my name today was pretty cool,” Sellars said.

An 85-point ride on Grey Earle was just what the Florida cowboy needed to secure the top spot in the qualifiers alongside T Parker, Jack Gimore and Jace Trosclair.

2023 Resistol Rookie of the Year T Parker has kept his momentum going into the Texas Swing as he moves on to the Semifinals after covering his bull in Rounds 1 and 2 to lock in $3,833.

Jack Gilmore and Jace Troclair claim the third and fourth position in the qualifier as they each picked up a check to advance out of Bracket 2.
