A s the 100th anniversary of the Golden Spike Rodeo ended with the fourth and final performance Aug. 23, there was plenty to cheer about. Before the final perfor mance - and in fact each night - there was a special tribute for two local police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. Steiner was matched up with Wrangler National Finals Rodeo bucking horse War Widow of Legacy Pro Rodeo.

He was able to focus after the emotional start and keep in stride with War Widow from the opening jump and won the rodeo with an 88-point ride. "With the bagpipes and the (police dog) sitting there in front of us, there is no better pump up than that," Steiner said. "That's as much motivation as you could ever get. There was no way nobody was going to beat me tonight after that."
