FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Tarleton State University bareback rider Tyler Berghuis moved into first place after a pair of 80-point rides during Tuesday competition at the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyo.<\/p>\n

Berghuis, the 2018 National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association Southwest Region reserve champion, scored an 81 in morning slack, then followed that ride with an 80 Tuesday night. His first-round score of 78 gives him a 239 tally on three head, six points ahead of second-place George Shadbolt of Doane University.<\/p>\n

Tie-down roper Kyle Parrish also finished Tuesday near the top of the leaderboard. He flashed an 11.2 time in the morning, then turned in a 9.9 Tuesday evening. The 37.3-second, three-head time leaves him in fourth place overall.<\/p>\n

A pair of Tarleton roughtstock cowboys got back on track Tuesday after being bucked off their first horses. Saddle bronc rider Brody Cress posted a 73 on his second ride to move into the top 20 and bareback rider Linden Woods earned a 78.5. Both have one more chance to move into the event finals on Saturday. Cress’ third go-round ride is today. He’s the only Tarleton representative in action for Wednesday night’s performance.<\/p>\n

Wyatt Williams missed his tie-down calf and team roping header Ky Bray got no score Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Tarleton’s men’s team is currently in fourth place with 220 points. Northwest Oklahoma State has accumulated 300 points for first place.<\/p>\n

In women’s action Tuesday, five-time CNFR qualifier Baili Collins from Tarleton slipped into the top 20 in goat tying with her 6.2. She carries a 13.4 two-head score with one run to go.<\/p>\n

Teammate Rylee Jo Dick got no score Tuesday in breakaway roping. She has one more round to add to her first-head 4.0.<\/p>\n

The CNFR continues all week. Championship finals take place Saturday.<\/p>\n
