Champ cashes in during Guymon rodeo

GUYMON, Okla. – Luke Branquinho knows the path to the pay window at the Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo.

In two days of competition this week, the 2004 steer wrestling world champion from Los Alamos, Calif., has placed in both preliminary go-rounds and has advanced into the progressive round during Oklahoma’s Richest Rodeo at Henry C. Hitch Pioneer Arena. He will be one of 40 bulldoggers to compete in a third round during the four performances of the Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo, a major player in the sport that has been part of the prestigious ProRodeo Tour since the system’s implementation earlier this decade.

Steer wrestlers, steer ropers, team ropers and tie down ropers compete in two preliminary rounds, then the top 40 cumulative times qualify for the progressive round, which will be part of the performances over the weekend.

Branquinho pinned his first steer in 3.7 seconds during non-performance competition – known as slack in rodeo terms – on Tuesday to tie Wade Sumpter of Fowler, Colo., to win the opening go-round. He then matched that feat in Wednesday’s second round, but that was only good enough for a tie for fifth place in the round.

In 7.4 seconds of work this week, Branquinho has earned $2,931.

But he may not be the biggest bulldogging story in Guymon. During Wednesday’s competition, reigning world champion Jason Miller of Lance Creek, Wyo., grappled his steer in 2.9 seconds to set a Hitch Arena record.

There will be four performances of the Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo, beginning at 7:30 tonight. Other shows will be at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. More than 800 contestants in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association are competing for the top prize money in the Sooner State this year.

PRESENTING SPONSORS: Seaboard Foods, Oklahoma Pork Council, Murphy-Brown, PTCI, Farm Credit of Western Oklahoma, City of Guymon Convention and Tourism, Hitch Enterprises, Dodge Trucks, U.S. Smokeless Tobacco, Justin Boots, Coors, EOG Resources and Wrangler.
