Rodeo

The 71st Annual Gallup Lions Club Rodeo reintroduced the $1,000 Winner Take All Showdown at this year’s rodeo, which was held last week.

Matthew Tuni and Leegene Barlow spent most of the regular season atop the season standings in their respective events in the Arizona High School Rodeo Association.

Carrying a second loop paid dividends for Crownpoint breakaway roper Tylon Tsosie.

Michael Bates didn’t net a go-round check on Monday but his consistency yielded a trophy saddle at the Native Bulldoggers Memorial Jackpot.

A nagging groin injury may have sidelined Cody Jesus but that didn’t stop him from reentering the PBR’s Unleash the Beast tour last weekend at the Ty Murray Invitational.
