WATCH: Ivy Saebens after her winning run in Semifinal No. 1 in San Antonio

In an exciting night of barrel racing, Ivy Saebens and JLo notched the fastest time in Semifinal No. 1 in San Antonio Thursday.

The pair made a 14.86-second run, the second fastest of the entire rodeo.

“She (JLo) has been working amazing, every single run has been a blast,” Saebens said. “She came back stronger than she was running before and I’m so excited.”

Saebens has consistently been able to rise to the occasion in San Antonio, qualifying for the Finals every year she’s competed except one.

“Being around the best in the world makes you want to ride better, do better and win more,” she said.
