rookie standings, but when I looked for my name in the world standings I couldn’t find it at first because I was looking too low on the list. It didn’t hit me until I saw the world standings. ... It’s awesome to go from not even close to almost making the Finals. HAVEN MEGED AGE: 21 EVENT: Tie-down roper HOMETOWN: Miles City, Mont. EARNINGS: $119,879 been good getting there, and the horses have been good too. But it comes down to 10 rounds (at the Wrangler NFR), so it’s going to be a knife fight. What’s the biggest achievement of your rookie year? The RAM National Circuit Finals was my biggest win because we roped five or six calves and I got on a roll. I won almost $23,000 in cash – that was a great rodeo. It was life-changing money and set me up in a good spot to make the Finals. It was just unbelievable. Without the circuit finals counting I wouldn’t have been in that spot. COLE PATTERSON AGE: 23 EVENT: Steer roping HOMETOWN: Pratt, Kan. EARNINGS: $38,251 What does this award mean to you? If you look back at a lot of people with gold buckles, a lot of them have a The outcome of the rookie tie-down roping race won’t be determined until the Wrangler NFR. How are you feeling about your position? I’m in a great position to come out on top. I roped good all year, and it has taken a lot to get there. It’s

rookie of the year buckle that they got before that gold buckle, so it’s a heck of an honor. Rookie of the year was a goal when we started. I spent all year trying to make the (Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping), so we were more worried about that. The rookie title took care of itself. What’s the biggest achievement of your rookie year? Qualifying for the Finals. It took tons of hard work and long days in the practice pen when

nobody is watching and lots of hours studying where you can get better, faster and smoother. I watched videos of myself and other people, picked up little things that others do better than others, like if you take 15 of the best people who do it and try to take a bit from everyone. GARRETT SHADBOLT AGE: 23 EVENT: Bareback riding HOMETOWN: Merriman, Neb. EARNINGS: $54,580

Garrett Shadbolt was unable to be reached before this edition of ProRodeo Sports News went to press. But after he won the Guymon (Okla.) Pioneer Days Rodeo in May, he talked with PSN . “My goal is to hit 100 rodeos this year, win

the Resistol Rookie of the Year, and I believe that would get me to the Wrangler NFR,” he said. “... I feel like I’ve had some good luck, but I also feel like my riding is improving and I’m getting my foot through the door of Professional Rodeo.”
