Today is the last day of the 2005 National Finals Rodeo. A week ago, we were excited that our Sandpoint boy made it to the Super Bowl for cowboys. Now, more than $70,000 later, Rowdy may even have a chance to win the bareback title.
He placed first last night with a score of 90 points and won more than $30,000 for his 8-second performance. For his first place, he even earned an ESPN interview after the event.
We couldn't be prouder for this young man who has worked so hard and gone without for so long in chasing his dream. Regardless of how he does today, I'm sure he'll feel the energy of hundreds of local Rowdy fans who'll be watching and keeping their fingers crossed for his grand finale in the 2005 competition.
The NFR airs today at 1:30 p.m. PST on ESPN. Bareback riding is the first event.
Ride 'em, Rowdy. We in Sandpoint couldn't be any prouder!
