The pain and challenge of bareback riding A good crowd watched cowboys and cowgirls from across America compete in the PRCA Wind River Rodeo Roundup at the Fremont County Fairgrounds arena in Riverton Monday evening. Temperatures in the upper 90s opened the event, but clouds and smoke from distant forest fires kept the sun off the competitors for most of the event. In the most dramatic event of the day, the final steer wrestler of the night, Austin Reece Anderson of Molt, Montana won the top spot on the first go with an excellent time of 4.0 seconds. Austin Eller of Glendo, Wyoming held the lead with a good effort at 5.0 seconds until Anderson bumped him out of first place. Fremont County cowgirl, and former Shoshoni Lady Wrangler, Coralee Spratt won the ladies' breakaway roping competition with a quick time of 2.4 seconds, edging second-place Martha Angelone of Stephenville, Texas by just a tenth-of-a-second. The bull riding event was not sanctioned by the PRCA and featured a lot of local competitors but none completed a ride. The rodeo continues on Tuesday with the even event begging at 7:30 p.m.Bareback Riding: Go Round 1 1. Maston Stuller, Veneta, OR 80.0, 2. Kennan Reed Hayes, Hayden, CO 77.5, 3.
