Newell Takes Bull Riding Lead at <strong>National</strong> <strong>Western</strong><br />
DENVER, Colo. --- Thad Newell is looking for a win that could be the biggest of his career.<br />
He took the lead in the over-all category on Thursday at the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Western</strong> <strong>Stock</strong> <strong>Show</strong> <strong>Rodeo</strong> in the<br />
Denver Coliseum. Corey Navarre, from Weatherford, Okla., led after the third and fourth performances with a<br />
total score of 156 points. Then, Tag Elliot from Thatcher, Utah matched Navarre’s scores during the fifth and<br />
sixth performances.<br />
After the sixteenth performance Thad Newell from Muskogee, Okla., moved to the top of the leader<br />
board. Newell was 84 points on the Cervi Championship <strong>Rodeo</strong> bull named Victoria’s Secret at the Wednesday<br />
night performance. He then came back for Thursday morning’s rodeo and scored 83 points on Flying 5 <strong>Rodeo</strong>’s<br />
Unreliable. He now leads the over-all category with 167 points on two head, 10 points ahead of the man in<br />
second place, Ardie Maier from Timber Lake, S.D. who has 157.<br />
There are 132 bull riders entered in this year’s rodeo. So far, 11 have qualified rides on two bulls. The<br />
top 12 contestants qualify for Sunday’s final round and with five more performances before that, the<br />
competition looks tough.<br />
There were four qualified rides during Thursday night’s rodeo and three were over 80 points.<br />
Wyoming’s Seth Glause was the leader of the pack at 83 points. Then, two-time Wrangler <strong>National</strong> Finals<br />
<strong>Rodeo</strong> (WNFR) qualifier Clint Craig has 82. Mike Moore, from Kankakee, Ill., who used to live north of<br />
Denver in Wellington, Colo., scored 81. Moore has qualified for the WNFR 4 times and Glause has been there<br />
once.<br />
All three of these men have the opportunity to be in Sunday’s finals but will need another eight-second<br />
ride and a good score. That would give them a jump start on the 2010 season and hopefully another trip to Las<br />
Vegas to compete in rodeo’s championship event.<br />
<strong>Rodeo</strong> action continues in the Denver Coliseum on Friday with performances at 2 and 7:30 p.m.<br />
