There is only one bracket left to be completed before the semi-finals in San Antonio after Bracket Three finished its action Monday night.
Three-time World Champion Tim O’Connell and Wisconsin barrel racer Kricket Ginter were the headliners in Freeman Coliseum over the last two days.
O’Connell had rides of 88 and 91 points to collect a total of $3,000 and win both rounds en route to a semifinal appearance.
“The ride felt really good, he (Calgary Stampede’s Trail Dust) was as good as he’s ever been for me,” he said. “He takes every ounce of guts and try to just get by him, let alone make a great ride on him.”
Ginter also finished at the top of the leaderboard in both performances. She stopped the clock at 15.25 seconds to tie Emily Miller in Round 1 and then recorded a blistering a 14.96-second run.
Ginter was called in as a replacement and packed and got in her rig in 90 minutes to get to San Antonio as fast as she could.
