Central Wyoming Rodeo Headed Down the Stretch

The Central Wyoming Rodeo has just 2 more performances, and Friday's session will be the last opportunity to get into the short-go on Saturday. The bulls have been giving the cowboys fits this week, but there was a big breakthrough on Thursday night as Stetson Wright from Utah turned in an 85 to take the lead in the event. Hayden Welsh of Gillette, who competed in the College National Finals, pulled a 65, so he is in 3rd place.

Rusty Wright from Utah assumed the lead in the saddle bronc with an astounding 89, pushing Chet Johnson of Buffalo to 2nd place. Once again, we have some great photos from Thursday's performance at the Central Wyoming Fairgrounds, courtesy of Libby Ngo, which includes some images of the fabulous mutton-busters. Enjoy and look for someone you know.
