Moody wins Average, Brazile wins Triple Crown

Going into round 10 Jill Moody and Sherry Cervi were battling it out for the $44K + 1st place average cheque. One of them was going to take second. Fortunately for Cervi, tipping third barrel only cost her the average title and the difference in money from first and second. Cervi still got second in the average having been so tough all week. This is the second time Moody has won 1st in the average, this time with a record fast time on 10 runs.
In the round Angie Meadors and Mulberry tied Brittany Pozzi and Duke for first. Duke was firing on all cylinders for that run, much like we had anticipated he would at the beginning of the week. This world championship is Sherry Cervi's third win. She has won each on a different horse. Troubles, Hawk and now Stingray.

Peek winner at Wrangler Timed Event Championships

(Guthrie, Okla., March 7) -- Adversity doesn’t stop Josh Peek of Pueblo, Colo. It never has.

Josh Peek Head Shot A year ago, Peek was leading the Wrangler Timed Event Championship at the Lazy E Arena with one run left. He took a 60-second time in the steer roping, the equivalent of a no-time in the competition, and dropped to a fourth place. On Sunday, he was again leading the average with one run remaining. This time, the 30-year-old tied his steer down in 18.4 seconds to clinch the title of 2010 Wrangler Timed Event Champion with a time of 315.2 seconds on 25 runs. He is the 11th man to win the title in the 26 years of the Championship.

In addition to winning $50,000 for the average, Peek, the two-time PRCA reserve all-around world champion, placed twice in the fast rounds and exited the Lazy E Arena with $58,000.

The money won at the non-PRCA sanctioned event does not count toward the PRCA World Standings. However, the paycheck will come in handy for Peek who has twins with his wife, Kori.

"I was more prepared this year," he said. "Before I got here, I believed I was going to win."

Peek’s drive and determination to overcome hard times goes back to his childhood. When Peek was 9 years old an old nail pierced the skin of his right foot. In a lot of cases, the story might have ended with tetanus shot. But Peek had stepped on this nail while in a pig pen. The child would undergo four surgeries, almost lose his foot and spend about a month in the hospital. In that span he would be given some antibiotics and that''s what he''s told induced epilepsy.

"Without adversity, you''ll never achieve success," he said Sunday. "There will always be road bumps and you''ll need the Lord and your family, but you also have to believe in yourself."
The Wrangler Timed Event Championship annually features 20 of the world''s top cowboys to battle the clock and tests their talents in a marathon of team roping - heading and heeling, tie-down roping, steer wrestling and steer roping over five rounds for a share of a $150,000 total purse.

Peek took the lead in the third round on the 14th run of the weekend. However, on the 19th run a fast running draw led to a 27.5 in the steer wrestling. He ended the fourth go in second place.

In the fifth round, Peek dropped to third. The team roping - heeling shuffled the deck as K.C. Jones of Burlington, Wyo., a four-time Wrangler Timed Event Champion, dropped to third. Trevor Brazile of Decatur, Texas, a six-time winner of the event, moved to the lead in the average and Peek went to second after 23 head.

In the steer wrestling, Brazile had a tough steer, getting a 60-second time. So, Peek tossed his draw in 4.1 seconds for 296.8 on 24 and the lead, with one run remaining. Jones was second. In the steer roping, Jones was 18-seconds for 343.0 on 25. Peek needed to be 46.1 for the win and was 18.4.

Jones finished second in the average for $25,000, while JoJo LeMond was third at 358.3 seconds for $15,000. Brazile claimed fourth with 364.9 for $10,000 and fifth was Chance Kelton of Mayer, Ariz., 367.6 for $7,500. Kelton also had the fastest round with 48 seconds in the second go for and additional $10,000.

Not long into Sunday''s action, fans witnessed something never before done at the event, as JoJo LeMond of Andrews, Texas, along with the assistance from 2008 World Champion Team Roping Heeler Randon Adams, shattered the team roping - heading record with a 4.5-second run. The previous record was 5.1 seconds by B.J. Campbell in 2002. LeMond also holds the competition’s team roping-heeling record with a 4.9-second effort with Matt Sherwood in 2009.

The Ironman of professional rodeo returned to the Lazy E Arena this past weekend in Guthrie, Okla., and for more than two and a half decades, this one-of-a-kind event has showcased world champions and a cast of ProRodeo’s elite cowboys.

The Wrangler Timed Event Championship will air as a special event on RFD-TV’s “Beyond Rodeo Show with Susie Dobbs” at 12:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. (CT) on April 29.
