6 Rounds Down, 4 to Go

Jordan Peterson made her first victory lap last night and Sherry Cervi took over the barrel racing average lead by 0.01 of a second. Looks like the top spot could waiver back and forth nightly between Sherry and Lindsay. Brittany is still holding on to 3rd spot. Here is how the average pays out:
First: $43,954 (per man in team roping)
Second: $35,661 (per man in team roping, etc.)
Third: $28,197
Fourth: $20,733
Fifth: $14,928
Sixth: $10,781
Seventh: $7,464
Eighth: $4,147

Lee Graves stayed hot in the steer wrestling. He placed second behind Luke Branquino. Graves is leading the average, Curtis Cassidy second and Branquino third. Graves has a $13,900+ lead on Branquino who is hot on his heels winning last nights round.

Looks like Trevor Brazile has got his game back placing second last night (and first on Monday). He holds on to 8th place in the average having had some long times. Tuf Cooper leads the average but will need a couple of tough times to place high enough in the rounds to take over the world lead (he's currently a $60K behind with Cody Ohl also ahead and placing well in the average).

In the team roping there are only 2 teams that have all 6 steers down. Luke Brown/Martin Lucero and Nick Sartain/Kollin VonAhn there are 1 and 2 in the average respectively. Luke Brown is 2 in the World standings, Sartain #3 both behind Chad Masters who is 12th in the average with 3 NT's. On the heeling end of things Kollin VanAhn is 2nd and Martin Lucero 4th. Jade Korhill (12 in Ave) and Rich Skelton (4th in Ave) in 1 and 3 respectively in the World Standings. Wow - that's confusing....I think that could play out a lot of different ways especially since they don't get a third loop anymore.
