HOUSTON, TX – A fantastic end to RodeoHouston, the inaugural Cinch RodeoHouston Super Shootout: North America’s Champions provided ample excitement in true Rodeo fashion. The winner of each event took home a check for $25,000 and a custom buckle.
Will Lowe had a great ride in bareback riding and won with a score of 89.5.
Lowe’s wife and son were both present to watch his win. He plans to save the money he won and put it toward his son’s college fund.
In barrel racing, Sherry Cervi won with a time of 14.45. She was one of two in the final round to not hit a barrel. Her horse, Stingray, is 9 years old and has given Cervi several great runs while in Houston.
“Rodeo is a big family,” Cervi said. “I appreciate Houston giving us this opportunity.”
For the second night in a row, Cort Scheer won saddle bronc riding. He won the 2011 RodeoHouston BP Super Series Championship and said it was unbelievable that he was able to win again in the Cinch RodeoHouston Super Shootout. He said this is the most money he has won in one rodeo, excluding the National Finals Rodeo. His total RodeoHouston paycheck was $85,350.
“It’s a lifestyle, not a competition,” Scheer said. “I really appreciate all Houston does for all the cowboys.”
