[RENO RODEO RELEASE]

RENO, Nev. (June 19, 2022) – It was NV Energy Foundation’s Power of Good Night at the Reno Rodeo. The stands were packed on Father’s Day to see some of the best competitors in Pro Rodeo.

Bareback rider R.C. Landingham, currently ranked No. 13 in the world standings, took the high score tonight with an 82-point ride on Flying 5 Rodeo’s Barracuda. He’s coming off a recent win at the Stonyford (Calif.) Rodeo. Three riders tied for second with 80-point rides including Winnemucca native, Trenten Montero; 2016 Reno Rodeo Bareback Champion, Clayton Biglow; and No. 19 bareback rider in the world, Bronc Marriott.

Stetson Wright showed the sold-out crowd why he’s the No. 1 all-around cowboy in the world, coming out on top in not one but two events. He got an 87.5 on a re-ride in saddle bronc and then an 86.5 in bull riding. Wright is sitting at No. 1 in bull riding and No. 2 in saddle bronc with $1,454,382 in career earnings. He crossed $1 million in earnings during the regular season and is the youngest cowboy to accomplish that.

In steer wrestling, the fastest throw of the night went to Shayde Etherton at a lightning-quick 4 seconds flat.

Katie Pascoe was the first out of the gate tonight in barrel racing, and no one could touch her 17.05-second turn around the barrels.
