STEPHENVILLE — The South Plains College men's and women's rodeo teams wrapped up day two of the Tarleton State University Rodeo on Friday turning in a pair of top finishes proceeding Saturday's final round.
Parker Emola clocked a 4.3 in the long round in steer wrestling and currently holds the top position heading into Saturday. Emola is joined in the top five by fellow Texan Chet Boren who turned in a 6.4 and is currently tied for fifth. Boren entered the weekend second in the men's all-around standings with the top two point-getters advancing to the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming in June.
In the team roping event, South Plains' Jhett Trenary and Stefan Ramone posted the top time in Friday's long round with a 5.7. Kade Sherwood also finds himself in contention heading into Saturday as he paired up with Weston Podzemny of Ranger College as the duo clocked a 14.1. Ramone is also tied for 10th in tiedown roping after running a 10.9 on Friday.
Entering the weekend atop the regional leaderboards, the Lady Texans will look to turn in a solid performance on Saturday as they compete in barrel racing, goat tying and breakaway roping. South Plains' Kody Criswell turned in a 16.66 in barrel racing on Friday and is currently tied for 10th.
