Tyler Wade and Wesley Thorp are sitting third in Round 1 at the Dodge City Roundup Rodeo but it was their blazing fast time in Round 2 that everyone is talking about. With a 4.2 on the board, Wade and Thorp are the team to beat in the second round.
“We were a little long on the first one, we knew if we wanted to have a chance to make it back we probably needed to place in the second round. I was a long ways away but it worked out. I knew Wesley would probably catch him if I turned him,” Wade said.
Thorp missed a leg in Round 1 but the duo made up for it in Round 2.
“We knew we had a good one tonight. If we place in the round we have a chance to make it back but were kind of roping for the round too. So there wasn’t any reason to safety up or hold back,” Thorp said.
It is a waiting game for Wade and Thorp but they currently sit second in the average and are looking at possibly making it back to the Short Go of the Dodge City Roundup Rodeo.
