STEER WRESTLING

TIE-DOWN ROPING
Wildcard competitor Chance Oftedahl is out tonight with quick shoes to fill. His fastest time in Fort Worth has been a 7.8-second run and a run of that caliber in the Semifinals would more than likely bring him back to the Finals.

| Jordi Edens |
| Lari Dee Guy |
| Braylee Shepherd |
| Maddy Deerman |
| Jill Tanner |

| Lisa Lockhart |
| Preslie Reid |
| Summer Kosel |
