A little of the Wild West returns to Rim Country this week with the 2012 Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo This annual celebration of the Rim’s Western heritage takes place Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 17, 18 and 19 at the Payson Event Center on Highway 87 just south of town, across from the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino. The performances begin Thursday night with the Cactus Women’s Professional Rodeo Association events — barrel racing, tie-down roping and team roping. Gates open at 5 p.m., with the contests starting at 7 p.m. Admission is one can of food or more for the food banks in the Rim Country. While there will be members of the
WPRA competing for points, the event is also open to women of all ages, even if they don’t have a WPRA card. So, expect to see some dazzling displays of horsemanship, speed and grace. Friday night is the “Tough Enough to Wear Pink performance, where cowboys and fans alike, along with the arena crew, wear pink to help local breast cancer support groups. For all wearing pink, $1 per fan and $3 per contestant is donated to the local groups. Saturday night will be the rodeo’s tribute to honor wounded and fallen veterans. Both Friday and Saturday night, gates open at 5 p.m., with the rodeo starting at 7 p.m. There are 228 contestants listed on the preliminary participant sheets.
Some competitors have world and national titles and standings, according to rodeo boss Bill Armstrong. Among the top-ranked folks to be looking for: team roper Jake Barnes of Scottsdale; team roper Derrick Begay of Seba Delkai, Ariz.; barrel racer Sherry Cervi of Marana, Ariz.; bareback rider Tom McFarland of Bowie, Texas; and bareback rider Wes Stevenson of Lubbock, Texas. A few competitors with Payson roots will also be among the contestants: barrel racer Whitney Alderson; team roper Wyatt Althoff; bareback rider Jason Amon; team roper TJ Brown; team roper Kyle Conway; team roper Hal Earnhardt III; and barrel racer Teri James. Not all live in Payson — Althoff claims Oracle, Ariz. as home, but his parents and grandparents have both
lived in Payson; Conway makes his home in Casa Grande, Ariz., but his mother is noted rodeo horsewoman Penny Conway and she and her husband have deep Rim Country roots; Earnhardt is from Queen Creek, Ariz., but his family has long been owners of the Little Green Valley Ranch east of Payson. Most of the 200-plus contestants come from around Arizona and New Mexico, but you will also see competitors visiting the Rim Country from Utah, Texas, Nevada, Wyoming, North Dakota and Nebraska. One competitor is coming all the way from Newberg, Ore. But the champion traveler to the 2012 spring rodeo is bull rider Cody Heffernan, who is from Singleton, New South Wales in Australia.

Jayme Smith, Avery Williams and Tonia Yazzie; and two in the contest for Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona: Lauren Meehan and Samantha Miles. The reigning royalty
Miss Rodeo Arizona 2011 is Yuma’s Audrey Hall, the second daughter of John and Cindy Hall and sister to Kelsey, Mariah and Sabrina. She has spent the last year traveling the country representing the state and serving as the First Lady of Professional Rodeo in Arizona. She competed in Las Vegas representing Arizona at the December Miss Rodeo America pageant and brought home a “Top 10” buckle, along with memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. Now that her reign is coming to an end, Hall will be going back to school to finish her bachelor’s degree in marketing and public relations through Ashford University in Clinton, Iowa.
Then she plans to work in this field and pursue a master’s degree, so she can be a professor in marketing at some point. Growing up she raised 4-H club lambs, and played the viola and cello in the orchestra. She also played basketball, volleyball, softball, swam and danced. Her “horse sense” came at a young age and she has grown up loving to ride and compete in different timed events through YPBRA and Westside Riders. Through these organizations and holding local queen titles, Hall found her passion and knew her future had to be in the equine industry. One of her favorite memories was competing in an all-girl team at the Iron Man of Ranch Rodeos in Las Cruces, N.M. She still works on the timed event side of the arena and has high hopes of running barrels in the WPRA and is excited to stay involved in the Miss CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Three vie for Miss Rodeo Arizona title The Rim Country is hosting three lovely women vying for the title of Miss Rodeo Arizona this week: Jayme Smith, Avery Williams and Tonia Yazzie. Smith, 22, was born and raised in Arizona and is a fourth generation cowgirl. She makes her home in the White Mountains where she attends Northland Pioneer College full time as she works toward a double major in nursing and psychology. Smith is an EMT and aspires to be a flight nurse. She enjoys barrel racing and team roping and currently is the Navajo County Rodeo Queen and formerly served as the Show Low Deuces Wild Rodeo Queen. She also enjoys hunting, reading and camping. Smith is a member of the Generation West Drill Team, the National Rifle Association and recently became an advocate for Rope Afghanistan, an organization that spreads the roots of rodeo and a little western cheer to troops overseas. Williams, 22, is from Phoenix. A recent graduate of Arizona State University, she completed concurrent degrees in biochemistry and anthropology. Following additional study, she says she would love to pursue a career as a forensic anthropologist or a medical doctor.

Following the in the footsteps of her mother, Monica, Williams has been riding horses since she was 5 and won her first rodeo queen title, Miss Li’l Bit Rodeo Arizona, in 1998. Throughout the years, her parents, Monica and Timothy, have supported her as she held various local titles and most recently was named 2010 Miss Turquoise Circuit. Her sponsor in the Miss Rodeo Arizona contest is the Cowgirls Historical Foundation. “I remember seeing Lori Baker as
Miss Rodeo Arizona and thinking, ‘I want to be just like her.’ It is such a tremendous privilege to compete for this title. If granted this opportunity I would love to follow the example of the wonderful women who have held the title of Miss Rodeo Arizona and work to promote not only everyone’s favorite western pastime, but also a platform encouraging kindness and character,” Williams said. Yazzie is the daughter of Tony and Lena Yazzie, a National Honor Society graduate from Ganado High School,
Ganado, Ariz., in 2005 and a graduate from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colo., where she earned a bachelor’s of arts degree in secondary English education. She is a strong supporter of education, family and the great sport of rodeo. In 2009, she graciously received the Miss Indian Rodeo title for the Indian National Finals Rodeo Association. She is currently working at Leupp Schools, Inc. as a professional teacher’s trainer.

Two seek title of Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona The Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona contest has two competitors this year: Lauren Meehan, 16, and Samantha Miles, 18. Meehan is a Gilbert native, the daughter of Lisa and David Meehan, the youngest of three girls. She says she knows the value of family hard work and dedication. She has been riding since the first grade. Her first queen title was the 2010 Lost Dutchman Days Senior Teen Queen and she is currently the 2011 Copper Dust Stampede Senior Teen Queen. Meehan is also a member of the Southwest Arizona Sisters Inc. Drill Team and excited to demonstrate its motto, “An attitude of gratitude� in everything she does. She said her favorite part about being an ambassador to rodeo is the opportunity to visit some of the best places Arizona has to offer, as well as sharing the state’s western heritage through her travels. Miles is a senior at River Valley High School in Mohave Valley, Ariz., and also is taking college classes through Mohave Community College. She will actually earn her associate’s degree
from the college a week before she is presented with her high school diploma. She began riding at the age of 7 and became proficient in gymkhana, Western and English riding. Miles was appointed the Colorado River Round Up Needles Rodeo Princess in both 2009 and 2010. She was most recently crowned 2011 Andy Devine Days Rodeo Queen and fully enjoyed traveling the tri-state area during her reign. Currently she is active in the National Honors Society, Key Club, 4H horse science program, and the Renaissance Club. She averages 200 hours of volunteer service in her community every year. Miles is already enrolled at Arizona State University where she will pursue a degree in biological science with plans to earn a master’s degree in biological science/equine science. Her long-term goal is to become an animal scientist in research to better understand animals and improve the quality of livestock through reproduction, nutrition and the animals’ living conditions.

With more than 200 competitors, not all will be able to be in the evening contests, so some draw “slack time� and compete during the day. Armstrong said slack will start at 8 a.m., Friday, May 18 at the Payson Event Center. He expects there will be 46 barrel racers, 17 ropers and nine pairs of team ropers running in slack. The public can come out and watch these competitions free of charge, Armstrong said. Tickets for adults 12 to 64 are $14;
seniors $12; and children 8 to 12, $10 (those 7 and under are free). All active military will be admitted at no charge with proper identification.

Rodeo announcers are not just voices floating out over the arena. Expect to hear commentary coming from horseback.
They aren’t cowboys competing for points, but without them there would be no competitor. They’re the stock contractor, announcer and specialty act. Once again, the Salt River Rodeo Company will be providing the livestock for the spring rodeo. Salt River Rodeo is bringing in about 40 horses and 25 bulls, plus livestock for the other events at Payson’s 2012 Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo, including the Women’s Cactus Rodeo. The company is now owned by Jerry and Nancy Dorenkamp and Cody and Allison Resor. Nancy Dorenkamp is known around Rim Country as Nancy Jane Henson. She has been coordinating the women’s rodeo that precedes the main rodeo for a number of years. Payson Pro Rodeo Boss Bill Armstrong said the Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo will enjoy the talents of announcers Reed Flake and Rob Smets. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Award-winning comedian is specialty act The specialty entertainment at the 2012 Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo is by Frankie “Punkintown” Smith. “Entertainment — it is not what I do, it is who I am. It is awesome to wake up every morning and love your job, or at least that’s what some people call it. I say it is great to get up every day and be myself. I don’t have to hide behind makeup and put on an act, I just get to be me. It’s an honor for me to entertain families; after all it seems in America we are losing sight of ‘Family.’ That’s why I love the sport of Rodeo. It is a family sport,” Smith says on his Web
site. He has 15 years of experience as a rodeo clown. Among his accomplishments: Cody Stampede Wrangler Million Dollar Gold Tour; Spanish Fork, Utah Fiesta Days Wrangler Million Dollar Silver Tour; five-time PRCA Small Outdoor Rodeo of the Year, Estes Park, Colo. Expect Smith to do a bang-up job during the Friday night Tough Enough to Wear Pink performance “Rodeoing is a tough business… and so is fighting breast cancer. I have seen many friends and family that have had
to battle this terrible disease. For that reason, I team up with Wrangler Jeans to make people aware of the impact breast cancer has on all of us,” he says. Smith counts the following among his PRCA highlights: four times Pace Picante Tour Finales; three times Cheyenne Frontier Days; three times Buffalo Bill Cody Stampede Rodeo; Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo; Prairie Circuit Finals; Turquoise Circuit Finals; three times Southeastern Circuit Finals; Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo; Xtreme Bulls Series; and First Frontier Circuit Finals. Other
career highlights include CBS Early Show appearances and ESPN exposure. Smith attends more than 100 rodeo events across the U.S. annually and makes radio appearances at more than 20 stations annually. He served eight years with the U.S. Army and six of those were as a Special Forces Army Ranger. Smith’s comedy career highlights include five wins as the Christian Country Music Association (CCMA) Comedian of the Year (1996, 97, 98, 99, 2004); 1999 CCMA Artist of the Decade; and 1984 World Champion Clogger.
Rodeo announcers know their stuff FROM PAGE 9
Flake grew up working cattle and horses for his family ranch. Later, he went to Ricks College where he received a degree in ranch management. Flake has been announcing rodeos for more than 20 years. He has announced such events as the National High School Finals, the National Jr. High Finals, the Turquoise Circuit Finals, the USTRC Finals and the George Strait Team Roping.
Flake and his wife, Amy, reside in Snowflake, Ariz., where they have lived for most of their nearly 30 years of marriage. They have three children and five grandchildren. Smets is known professionally as The Kamikaze Kid, and is a color commentator for the Professional Bull Riders tour and a former five-time Wrangler World Champion bullfighter. He was born in Palo Alto, Calif., but as a child lived in Thailand, Singapore, Puerto Rico and Australia before
returning to San Martin, Calif. as a teenager and attended Palma High School in Salinas. As a sophomore, he started entering high school rodeos. While bull riding as a teenager, he taunted some of the bullfighters for not protecting riders well enough after the riders fell. They challenged him to try being a bullfighter himself, which he did. He made a name for himself early on, distracting bulls after riders had fallen, so the riders could leave the ring safely. During the 19 years of the Wrangler
Jeans World Bullfighting Championship from 1981-2000, Smets was a top-6 finisher 17 times. He also won the championship five times, a record. Smets was inducted into the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame in April of 2010. He retired from bullfighting in 2006, after breaking his neck for the third time. Smets and his wife, Carla, married in 1993, and they have four daughters. They live on a ranch in Shamrock, Texas.

Rodeo Arizona organization so that girls in the future have just as much of a fun growing experience as she did this last year. Hall is very happy that the pageant is back in Payson this year as Payson has been one of her favorite stops. To those who made this possible she says, “Thank you for being supportive in bringing the pageant back to Payson! It is so nice to end such a great year in a great place and for a new girl to begin the journey of a lifetime right here in Payson, Arizona.” Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona 2011 is Brittney Hamilton of Ahwatukee, Ariz. Hamilton, sponsored by Golden West Cowgirls Drill Team, is a student at Desert Vista High School and has future plans to study anesthesiology in medical school. She has been riding horses since she could sit up and hold on. One of the first things she did when she learned how to talk, was to ask for a horse. “I believe I can achieve greatness through leading by example, practicing ethical standards in everything I do, being a responsible citizen and always doing my best while helping others achieve their best. I believe the title of Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona has given me the opportunity to put my ‘best’ to work for rodeo,” she says.
Miss Turquoise Circuit Brittney Truman is a Scottsdale, Ariz. resident and has been involved in rodeo her entire life. Currently, she runs barrels in the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association and continues to rope with her dad and uncles. While her job as Miss Turquoise Circuit consists of traveling thousands of miles between the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Turquoise Circuit of Arizona and New Mexico promoting the sport of rodeo and western way of life, Truman stays busy behind the scenes as well. She is currently studying equine science and sports medicine in college and has worked with the Justin Sports Medicine Program, which specializes in the rehabilitation of rodeo cowboy injuries. She has traveled all over the country as the official representative of rodeo within Arizona and New Mexico, Miss Turquoise Circuit represents her community, sponsors and the rodeo industry as a good will ambassador. “I would like to thank the 2011 Miss Rodeo Arizona, Audrey Hall, for everything she has done. She has been the world’s best traveling partner and has done an excellent job representing Arizona throughout the past year, not only in the arena but as a spokeswoman, role model, and friend to all.”

Such sweet faces can be deceptive. The livestock used in rodeo — provided by Salt River Rodeo Company for Payson — is bred to give human competitors a run for their money.
The super seven The Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo started as an Old Timers Rodeo years ago, but has since grown into a fully sanctioned PRCA event featuring some of the top cowboys and cowgirls in the country. Payson has a long tradition of rodeo. In August, it will host the 128th annual performance of The World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo. Much has changed over the years in rodeo, from ranch hands riding local stock to vie for top-dog bragging rights and show off their skills, to a multi-million dollar endeavor that now gives back big-time to various charities like breast cancer research and salutes our veterans, featuring top stock that is bred just for rodeo. Salt River Rodeo, with some of the top bulls and bucking stock in the West, is this year’s stock contractor. The rodeo performances feature seven traditional rodeo events: Steer Wrestling
Steer wrestling (aka bulldogging) is the quickest of the rodeo events. It requires strength, speed and timing. It is a timed event and cowboys compete against each other and the clock. The amount of time it takes to complete could be as fast as just 4 seconds. Saddle Bronc Riding
This event grew naturally out of ranch cowboys breaking wild broncos in the late 1800s to use as working cow horses. Modern saddle bronc riding has a few modifications, mainly in equipment. Saddle Bronc saddles are lightweight and have no saddle horn. It’s a very hard event to master. Riders must hold their boots over the horse’s shoulders at the first jump from the chute (called the mark out rule) and they must stay on for 8 seconds. The rider must constantly lift on the hack rein to keep his seat in the saddle. With all bronc events, a fleece flank strap is buckled around the flank of the animal, just snug enough to tickle. The animals, professional athletes in their own right, feel the fleece and know it’s bucking time. CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

The man the spring rodeo memorializes Gary Hardt had John Wayne-like reputation BY
MAX FOSTER
ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
The Payson Pro Rodeo Committee honors the memory of Gary Hardt when the action hits the arena at the Payson Event Center this weekend. Among those who remember him fondly is his son, Shawn, now a teacher and coach in Queen Creek. Shawn recalls his father was a star athlete, excelled in bull riding, was a seasoned outdoorsman and owned a John Waynelike reputation, mostly due to his physical and mental toughness. “Everyone looked up to him and admired him for all that he had done,” Shawn said. “He was a very unique individual.” Over the years, Shawn — who was 22 years old when his father was killed — has listened to endless tales of his father’s exploits in high school and on the rodeo circuit. “In high school in Phoenix he made the varsity team as a freshman and scored 26 rushing touchdowns,” Shawn said. “When he began bull riding, he
rode with Larry Mahan and J.C. Trujillo, who are both world champions.” Shawn also recalls the story of how his father, who in the late 1960s was helping search for bodies after a flood near Tonto Creek, stumbled across an angry bear. “My dad shot him once with his .38 pistol but it only wounded the bear,” he said. “The bear crawled into some brush thickets, but Dad didn’t want to leave him wounded and dying.” As the story goes, Gary got on his hands and knees and crawled into the thicket after the bear. “Not many men would be brave enough to do that,” Shawn said. “Dad eventually got within a few feet of the bear and was able to shoot him with his pistol.” Shawn also remembers his father had a reputation for being quick with his fists, but said that characterization is unfair. “Sure, Dad got in a lot of fights, but he was never the one to start them,” he said. “He wasn’t that kind of man.” The best memories Shawn has of his father are the times the two spent outdoors. “We did something every weekend,” he said. “It was usually hunting, fishing or going to rodeos — he was a very good dad.”
Shawn continues to honor the memory of his father by wearing one of the buckles Gary won during his seasons on the rodeo circuit every day. “They are pretty special to me,” he said. Ronnie McDaniel, a former Gila County sheriff’s deputy and justice of the peace — and one-time rodeo cowboy — agrees his former sidekick excelled in most everything he set his mind to, including fishing. “We fished some tournaments together — he was a very good fisherman,” he said. At Payson High School, Gary starred in track and field, especially the high jump, and in basketball. Following his graduation from PHS in 1962, he was selected to play in the Arizona Coaches Association All-Star basketball game in Flagstaff, but opted out. “He wanted to go to a rodeo instead,” McDaniel said. “I think his family was a little upset with him.” The family’s displeasure over not playing in the all-star game is understandable — his father, Jiggs Hardt, was a longtime high school basketball coach and is a member of the Arizona Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Gary satisfied his lust for bull riding for about 20 years before turning his attention to team roping.

“He was good at that, too,” McDaniel said. “We roped together a few times.” Although Gary spent most of his adult life working in construction, he served a short stint as a Gila County Sheriff’s Department deputy working alongside McDaniel. CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Remembering Gary Hardt FROM PAGE 14
“He was just then starting a family and couldn’t make a living as a deputy, so he went back to construction,” McDaniel said. Following Gary’s death, the Spring Rodeo was renamed in his honor and all the proceeds from the annual event benefit local youth through scholarship awards. His sports legacy in the Rim Country continues in the coaching contributions of Gary’s brothers, Chuck and Billy. Chuck, who recently retired after having coached football, basketball, track and cross-country at Payson High School, has been honored with enough coach of the year plaques to cover an entire wall of his Payson home. Billy is a longtime youth football league coach who has led the Payson Raiders to several undefeated records and Central Arizona Youth Football Association championships. During its earliest years, Payson’s Spring Rodeo was part of the National Old-Timers Rodeo Association, now known as the Senior Pro Rodeo Tour. In 1987, it
became the Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo to honor the memory of the Payson native who died in 1987. Hardt was a well-known roper. He was recognized throughout the Southwest for his bull riding and roping talents. His rodeo career began in 1962 at the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo in Payson. As a member of the Rodeo Cowboys Association, Hardt rode bulls for about 20 years. During the last 10 years of his work in rodeo, he became a well-established roper as well. This memorial event benefits local youth in pursuit of educational and athletic achievements. Scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors and assistance is provided to athletic and other programs offered by the Payson Unified School District. The Payson Pro Rodeo Committee, led by Bill Armstrong, coordinates the event. Membership in the committee is open to any interested Rim Country resident. It meets the second Tuesday of each month at the Best Western Payson Inn. Call Armstrong at (928) 474-9440 for more information.

BULL RIDING Popular and dangerous Bull Riding is the most dangerous of all the rodeo events. It is also probably the most popular with the audience, so it is usually the last event presented in a rodeo performance. The 2012 Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo is scheduled to have 24 bull riders competing during its Friday, May 18 and Saturday, May 19 performances.

Steer wrestling (aka bulldogging) is a timed event and cowboys compete against each other and the clock. The amount of time it takes to complete could be as fast as just 4 seconds.

Man vs. beast and time FROM PAGE 13
Bareback Riding
Bareback riding is a rough and explosive rodeo event and predictably the most physically demanding of all the rodeo events. To compete, the cowboy rides with no rein or saddle, but instead a rigging, which looks like a heavy piece of leather with a suitcase-style handle. Riding one-handed, the cowboy cannot touch the horse with his free hand and, in this event, he will lean way back onto the haunches of the horse for position. As with saddle bronc riding, the mark out rule is in effect. Barrel Racing

Barrel racing is a timed rodeo event, where the fastest time wins. Cowgirls race their top barrel horses around a cloverleaf pattern of three barrels. The riders enter the arena at full speed, quickly rounding each barrel and then exiting where they entered. A laser timer is used, registering to a hundredth of a second. Speed is what it is all about in this event. But if a rider knocks over a barrel, it is a 5-second penalty. It may look easy, but remember, these horses are flying along at 35 miles per hour or more. Bull Riding is the most dangerous of all the rodeo events. Bull riders say, “It’s not if you get hurt, it’s when.” As with bareback riding and saddle bronc, bull riders ride with one hand and cannot touch the bull with the free hand. Bull riders hang on to a thickly braided rope with a cowbell attached. The cowbell acts as a weight,
allowing the rope to safely fall off when the ride is over. Cowboys can spur for extra points, but just staying on the bull for 8 seconds is the main priority Team Roping
Team roping is the only team event in rodeo. Like other rodeo events, team roping grew out of the ranch chores of the past. Larger cattle would have to be constrained for branding and doctoring by two ropers due to their strength and size. Today, two cowboys (known as the header and the heeler) work together to rope the horns and the back feet of a steer. The team that finishes the fastest wins. If they only catch one back leg, they receive a 5-second penalty on their time and if they break the barrier strip — the head start line for the steer — they are penalized 10 seconds. Tie-Down Roping
Tie-down roping is the classic Old West ranch chore, formerly (and occasionally still) called calf roping. Like the steer wrestlers and team ropers, tie-down ropers start in the box ready to compete. The calf is released and the cowboy must ride his horse out of the box quickly, rope it, dismount, then sprint to the calf and lay it on its side, called flanking. With a pigging string, usually held in the cowboy’s teeth, he’ll tie up any three of the calf’s legs. The clock stops when the cowboy throws up his hands. If the calf struggles free within 6 seconds, the cowboy gets a “no time.” Tie-down roping is very competitive and takes an extremely trained horse, usually a Quarter Horse. A good rope horse can cost $75,000 or more, and many ropers use each other’s horses at different events.

Small corps of competitors in multiple events BY
TERESA MCQUERREY
RIM REVIEW EDITOR
Preliminary lists show 228 contestants are scheduled to compete in the 2012 Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo. Of those, 15 will be in multiple events. Most are in two, but Fran Orozco Marchand of Maxwell, N.M. is registered to be in three different contests: bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding. Contestants in two events include: • Arnold Burreal, Marana, Ariz. - calf roping and team roping • Chase Massengill, Santa Fe., N.M. steer wrestling and team roping • Trenton Montero, Winnemucca, Nev. bareback riding and bull riding • Clay Parsons, Marana, Ariz. - calf roping and team roping • Cutter Parsons, Marana, Ariz. - calf roping and steer wrestling • Erich Rogers, Round Rock, Ariz. calf roping and team roping • Johnny Salvo, Horse Springs, N.M. calf roping and team roping • Justin Simon, Florence, Ariz. - steer wrestling and team roping • Bill Snure, Douglas, Ariz. - calf roping and team roping • Ivan Stuart, Scottsdale, Ariz. - calf roping and team roping • Cimarron Thompson, Hobbs, N.M. calf roping and steer wrestling • Miles Thompson, Hobbs, N.M. - calf roping and steer wrestling
• Ted Walker, Sonoita, Ariz. - calf roping and team roping • Preston Williams, Casa Grande, Ariz. - calf roping and team roping As can be seen by the number of competitors out of the 15 above, there will be a lot of folks in team roping at the Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo. The preliminary list shows 58 contestants in team roping. That pencils out to 29 pairs of cowboys since each team has a header and a heeler. The biggest field of individual competitors at the May 18-19 event is in barrel racing. A total of 66 women are registered to take part in the contest... and that is not including those who will be in the Cactus Professional Women’s Rodeo Association event on Thursday, May 17. There will also be team ropers in that performance as well — but all women. The team ropers Friday and Saturday are all men. The second largest field of individual competitors is in the calf roping event — 39 cowboys are scheduled to compete. Some of the multiple event entries are among them. The saddle bronc event has 25 contestants registered; bull riding has 24 signed up; and steer wrestling will have 21 cowboys competing. Bareback riding is the “smallest” event, with 13 registered to compete.
