On Thursday, March 5, and Friday, March 6, rodeo competitors left it all on the dirt as they battled it out in Super Series II, Rounds 1 and 2. With spots in the next round on the line, the arena was packed with intensity as athletes pushed for fast times and high scores. Three-time Tie-Down Roping world champion Riley Webb returned to defend his title, showcasing the skill and consistency that has made him one of the sport’s best. Meanwhile, siblings and crowd favorites Rocker and Steely Steiner brought plenty of excitement to the arena, competing in Bareback Riding and Barrel Racing and drawing big cheers from the crowd. With the series underway, the pressure continues to build as competitors fight for every point and every second.  (Photos by Reggie Mathalone)
