SAN ANTONIO, Texas ---Marcus Michaelis and Bennette Barrington have done it again. They won their respective events in the AT&T Center for the third night in a row.
Barrington has been the most consistent barrel racer here so far stopping the clock in 13.99, 14.05 and 14.00 seconds. The Lubbock, Texas, cowgirl has been at the top of the leader board in every round and pocketed $6,223 so far with one more round to go before the semi-finals.
Michaelis is the only bull rider out of all the contestants to win three rounds. He has had scores of 86, 92 and 91. On Tuesday night it was Andrews Rodeo’s Red Onion that he earned the 91 on. He got to take his third victory lap in front of rodeo fans and added another $2,074 to his earnings here. Michaelis is second in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association world standings. He has already added $6,223 to that and has the potential to earn more from the million dollar San Antonio Stock Show Rodeo.
Both Barrington and Michaelis have earned enough money to secure a spot in the semi-finals here. Other contestants from bracket four that will likely advance are Luke Branquinho from Los Alamos, Calif., Cody Ohl from Hico, Texas, Shaun Stroh from Dickinson, N.D., Scott Montague from Rapid City, S.D., and Caleb Mitchell from Sealy, Texas, and Justin Copp from Justin, Texas.
Branquinho won the third round in steer wrestling with a 3.4 second run. He has total earnings of $3,630 here so far. Montague rode Calgary Stampede’s Mad Money in bareback riding to win $2,074 with an 86-point ride. He has total earnings of $3,889.
In saddle bronc riding, Shaun Stroh tied for the third-round win with an 87-point ride on Kesler Championship’s Starburst. Stroh has total earnings of $5,704. Billy Etbauer from Edmond, Okla., also had an 87. He rode Calgary Stampede’s Fearless Warrior and earned his first check here for $1,815. Etbauer is fourth in the money standings, so will be trying to maintain or better his position in the fourth round on Wednesday night.
Team ropers Mitchell and Copp tied for second place to earn $1,296 Tuesday. They are at the top of the money standings with $4,926. Garrett Tonozzi, from Fruita, Colo., and Kinney Harrell from Marshall, Texas, won the third round with a 4.4 second run.
World standings tie-down roping leader Shane Hanchey earned his first check here with a 7.8 second run. Hanchey kept his hopes of advancing to the semi-finals alive with a 7.8-second run. The Sulphur, La., native thought it was a great way to celebrate Fat Tuesday.
All of these contestants will have their fourth round competition on Wednesday starting at 7 p.m.
