Wednesday, June 18 recap:

Goat saw a lead change in the third round when University of Wyoming’s Josie Mousel stopped the clock in 5.7 seconds, just two-tenths of a second off the arena record set by Kristin Reaves from Texas’s Weatherford College in 2022. 

              Mousel is a first-time CNFR qualifier as a sophomore and with a total of 20.1 seconds on three runs has the potential to qualify for Saturday night’s championship round. Madalyn Richards from Texas A&M University had a third-round time of 6.2 on Wednesday, giving her the fastest total so far. Richards leads the overall standings with 18.9 seconds on three runs. She is a graduate student who has four trips to the CNFR to her credit. She is the defending national all-around and breakaway roping champion here and is on pace to win three buckles on Saturday night. She still has one more round of roping to determine if she will advance in that event. She has a total of 5.5 seconds on her first two runs in that event. If she has a similar time to the 2.4 and 3.1 she turned in in the first two rounds, she will be a contender on Saturday. She ropes her third calf Thursday night to determine if she will rope Saturday night in the championship round. 

              The third performance of the CNFR will start on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at 7 p.m. It is ribbon night at the rodeo where fans and contestants will be wearing shirts and ribbons to bring awareness to a variety of cancer types.

Tuesday, June 17 recap:

The women’s goat tying was fast and furious on Tuesday night with two times under seven seconds. Leading the third round is Natalie King from Southern Arkansas University with a 6.6. Kristin Reaves from Sam Houston State University was right behind her with a 6.7. 

Southwestern Oklahoma State University’s Cheyenne VandeStouwe has the overall lead with three runs totaling 20.4. King is in second with 21.2. 

All these leads are subject to change as Wednesday night’s competitors look for their own space on the leaderboard.
