There was a four-way tie for top spot in barrel racing. Janet Moen from Saskatchewan, Lisa Warfield from Montana, Lynette Brodoway from Brooks, and Shelby Spielman from Ponoka all got the job done in 14.82 seconds.
In junior steer riding, Koatlyn Ogilvie from Mountain View County placed first with a score of 72.5 points. Colton Powell from Sylvan Lake was the winner in novice saddle bronc and Clay Greenslade from Strathmore was the best of the bunch in novice bareback.
