Two Skyhawk cowboys generated points in steer wrestling. Anthony's 4.2 in the short round was tops in the field while he also finished second in average (9.2) and sixth in the first go (5.0). Will Perry additionally earned points after his 4.3 in the short round placed second only to Anthony.
Anna Wilder finished sixth in the goat tying event as her second go time of 7.8 seconds was good enough to earn her points.
