Entering professional barrel racing in the early 1990s, Cervi quickly made a mark. She secured four Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) World Barrel Racing titles in 1995, 1999, 2010, and 2013. Her consistent performances and strategic prowess positioned her as a dominant force in the competitive circuit.
A significant part of Cervi’s success can be attributed to her partnership with MP Meter My Hay, or “Stingray.” This dynamic duo achieved remarkable success, marked by precision in turns, explosive speed and an incredible feat, placing in all 10 rounds at the National Finals Rodeo en route to Cervi’s most recent world championship.
Sherry’s impact extends to her role as a mentor within the rodeo community, providing guidance and inspiration to aspiring barrel racers through scholarships and Sherry Cervi Youth Championship events. Her influence is not only felt through her accolades but also through her dedication to the sport’s development.
