Another standout highlight of the year for Pozzi Tonozzi came from the Worlds Oldest Rodeo in Prescott, Arizona. A 17.550 was good enough for 10th in the first go but she came back and bested that to win the second go with a 17.130 second run. Combined, the two times were a 34.680 which won the average and added $4,752 to Pozzi Tonozzi’s earnings.
