Shad Mayfield hustled to get faster in every go-round of Pool A, leaving it all in the arena. The No. 2 tie-down roper in the World secured his spot in the Semifinals after placing in every go round.
A 12.8-second run is what Mayfield’s Calgary journey started with, but it would be a 7.6 in Round 3 that would wrap up Pool A. Mayfield tied for third-place money, bringing his total to $8,875, which was enough for a spot in the Semifinals.
“I live to see another day. I’m happy about it. The goal is to get to Championship Sunday, and a tough set of guys, it came down right there to the end, but glad to get in,” Mayfield said.
The horsepower in Mayfield’s trailer is a pair of mares that he says are built for winning on the summer run and we will see them all again in the Semifinals on Sunday.
