LOVINGTON, N.M. – Clay Tryan and Travis Graves have had a great season. It got a little bit better Saturday night during the final performance of the Lea County Fair and Rodeo.

The team roping tandem finished in 10.4 seconds on two runs to win the aggregate title in Lovington. The $3,440 they each earned will go a long ways in helping them in the race for the 2011 world championships – Tryan is No. 2 on the heading money list; Graves is third in heeling. More importantly is that the money will count for the Wrangler Million Dollar Tour.

Tryan and Graves stopped the clock in 4.8 seconds on Saturday night to finish fifth in the second go-round. That was worth $832. Combined with their afternoon run of 5.6, they made the best of a good deal in Lovington – the New Mexico rodeo was one of three stops on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s Silver Tour, joining Hermiston, Ore., and Sikeston, Mo.

Money earned in those 24 rodeos helps contestants earn a spot in the Justin Boots Playoffs in Puyallup, Wash., and the Justin Boots Championships in Omaha, Neb. – both those events take place next month.

Graves and Tryan may have shut the door on the Lea County Fair and Rodeo, but there were plenty of other titles earned in Lovington over the five days of competition. Three-time world champion Will Lowe matched moves with the Carr Pro Rodeo bucking horse Dirty Jacket and Brian Bain rode Carr’s Black Coffee for 88 points to split the bareback riding title.

Cody Angland scored 85 points on Carr’s Miss Congeniality to win saddle bronc riding, while rookie bull rider Chandler Bownds won the title on Carr’s Time Out.

Other winners were two-time and reigning world champion steer wrestler Dean Gorsuch; 14-time world champion Trevor Brazile in steer roping; tie-down roper Sterling Smith; and New Mexico barrel racer Sydni Blanchard.
