After 6 Days and 6 Rounds - What We've Learned - A NFR Update

- The economy at least when it comes to the 10 Day WFNR, is alive and well.  As, we've seen a packed house at the Thomas & Mack Center each night so far.
- Trevor Brazille is a machine! He clinched he's 9th All-Around World Championship and his 6th Consecutive title.


- Chandler Bownds is reinforcing why he is the 2011 Bull Riding Rookie of the Year.  He has covered 2 of his 6 bulls and won 2 rounds with an 89 point and 91 point ride, respectively.


- It may be a two man slugfest in bull riding for the World Championship between J.W. Harris and Shane Proctor.  But Jacob O'Mara and Tyler Willis are definitely putting on a show
of their own.  Both cowboys have covered 4 of their 6 bulls so far.


- Kaycee Feild is on FIRE.  He won the first three rounds of bareback riding. He barely missed making the money in round 4, then bounced back to finish 2md
in Round 5 and 3rd in Round 6.  It looks like he is threatening to run away with the championship.


- Crowd favorite, Luke Branquinho is lighting it up in steer wrestling. He has finished no lower than 3rd in the 6 completed rounds with an average of 3.75 seconds.


- In Tie-Down Roping, Cody Ohl continues to impress.  His 8.07 average has him leading the average and has him in 3rd place in the World Standings.


- Jesse Wright has all the momentum in Saddle Bronc Riding.  With 3 round wins and an 85.83 average score has him ahead of the 2nd place cowboy, Bradley Harter. 


- In Barrel Racing, Sherry Cervi continues to lead the average race and closed the gap on world leader Brittany Pozzi by $7,000. Not to be outshone by Sherry
and Brittany, Carlee Pierce has won two rounds and set the all-time arena record with a run of 13.46 seconds.
