Arizona cowboys shine at the Monday night World's Oldest Rodeo.

It was a de facto Arizona night Monday at the World's Oldest Rodeo, with 36 participants from this Centennial State, seven of which came from our local communities. And, that's not even including the Wild Horse Race.

Two Arizona cowboys from Buckeye, Troy R. Nahrgang and Trey Nahrgang, placed first and second in the Steer Wrestling event, although they both broke the barrier, so their scores were a bit high to get into the go round.

Ivan Stuart from Cave Creek was third in the Tie Down roping event, behind Korii Ocoa from California and Shank Edwards from New Mexico. Roy Begay from Window Rock pulled into fourth place.

Local Saddle Bronc rider Colby Sventek, from Chino Valley, would have liked a better result; although Cheyenne, Whyoming's Seth Glause's score of 80 would have been a challenge to top.

In the Team Roping, local guys, Tom Richards from Humboldt and his partner Nick Sarchett turned in a solid time of 7.2 seconds, almost a full second ahead of the second place team, Nate Singletary from Surprise and Tom Bill Johnson from Kirkland, Arizona. As a matter of fact, when all is said and done, Richards and Sarchett are in second place for the overall event standings.

Spectators got a treat when Nancy Hunter from Neola, Utah ran the barrells in 17.23 seconds, moving up to first place. Dolli Lautaret from Kingman was less than six-tenths of a second behind, which put her in third place, with 17.81 seconds; and Jolee Lautaret, also from Kingman was only eight-one hundredths behind that, with a 17.89 second run. Competition in the barrel racing is rather fierce.

And Camo Mullins, from Phoenix, rode Desperado to turn in the only qualifying bull ride with a score of 76.

In the meantime, here's some photos from Monday night's performance. Enjoy!
