GUYMON, Okla. – Over the years, Clayton Hass has always held a special place in his heart for the Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo.

He’s won a bunch of money in the Oklahoma Panhandle, but he’s never walked away from “No Man’s Land” with the title. That changed Sunday, when he wrestled his steer to the ground in 4.3 seconds to win the Guymon title.

“It was very important to do well,” said Hass, a three-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier from Stephenville, Texas. “I was behind the 8 ball a little; I’ve had an OK winter, but not great.”

He was 27th in the world standings heading into this week, and the $4,363 he earned will surely propel him up the money list. That’s vital, because only the top 15 contestants on the money list in each event advance to the NFR at the conclusion of the regular season. After three straight years competing in Las Vegas in December, Hass has missed the last two opportunities.

Other winners at the 87th Pioneer Days Rodeo were all-around champion Ryan Jarrett, bareback rider Garrett Shadbolt, team ropers Cody McClusky and Joe Mattern, saddle bronc rider Wade Sundell, tie-down roper John Douch, barrel racer Kylie Weast and bull riders Stetson Wright and Trevor Rieste.

Hass took advantage of things when the time came Sunday. He was second in the aggregate race heading into the final performance, just three-tenths of a second behind Nick Guy of Sparta, Wisconsin.

“I knew my steer was good,” he said. “Nick was 4.2 on him in the first round, so I knew I had Nick outdrawn a little bit; if I did my job, he’d have to hump up to get me. Regardless of whether we were first or second, we just had to make a solid run, and we both did.”

That wasn’t the only tie-in between Guy and Hass. The Texan’s horse was sore from an incident earlier in the week, so he leaned on Chuck, a 16-year-old buckskin gelding that Guy is leasing from Kyle Whitaker.

Guy’s steer then ran a little harder than Hass’, leading to the victory by 1.1 seconds.

“My horse is a little sore, so I called Nick to see if I could get on that horse, Hass said. “Nick hazed for me.”

Even though both were battling for the top spot at a big rodeo this time of year, they were also willing to help one another. That’s what separates rodeo from most other sports, and it’s what separates the bulldoggers from other events.

“We all get along pretty dang good and help each other out,” he said. “It’s pretty awesome. I’m in some other events, and it ain’t that way. We see it as if we’re competing against the steers, so we cheer each other on. We push for each other and haze for each other. It’s pretty cool comradery.”
