The Sandhills Stock Show and Rodeo is in the books, and the champions included a couple of multiple world champions and some who are still holding tight their gold buckle dreams.
Three-time world champion Will Lowe won bareback riding with an 85, while two-time and reigning world champion Cody Wright won saddle bronc riding with an 87. Other winners were Glen Chape, steer wrestling, 8.3 seconds on two runs; Caleb Diggers and Brad Culpepper, team roping, 10.1 on two; Jud Nowatney, tie down roping, 16.7 on two; Jana Beam and Ashley Rice, 28.12 on two; and Sam Wyatt, bull riding, 88 points.
And thanks to sound man extraordinaire Benje Bendele, who provided great play-by-play throughout the night.
