On a night when bareback rider Will Lowe, steer wrestler Cody Ohl and all-around contestant Trevor Brazile clinched world championships with two nights remaining in the National Finals Rodeo, it was another barrel racer who set a Thomas & Mack Center rodeo record for the second time in the 10-day event.

Brandie Halls of Carpenter, Wyo., completed her run in 13.52 seconds to beat the record set by Kelly Mabens of Spur, Texas, in the sixth go-round.

Halls won her second go-round after finishing second the two previous nights. The $16,022 winner's check moved her to fourth in the season standings and her time put her third in the aggregate, just 3.02 seconds behind regular-season money leader Brittany Pozzi.

"You're only as good as your competition and these girls are awesome," Halls said.

She was equally proud of her 12-year-old gelding, Slim, saying, "He was on fire. All I tried to do was keep kicking. This is a special horse."

• ALL-AROUND -- Trevor Brazile of Decatur, Texas, earned $2,584 in calf roping to increase his season total to $318,812 to lock up his fourth all-around world title in five years.

• BAREBACK RIDING -- Tom McFarland of Wickenburg, Ariz., won his first NFR go-round with a score of 82.5 on Bar J Ranch's Night Jacket, while Will Lowe of Canyon, Texas, placed second with an 82 to clinch his second consecutive world championship and third in four years.

McFarland and each of his three traveling partners -- Lowe, Wes Stevenson and Royce Ford -- have all won NFR go-rounds this year.

"They've just been trying to fire me up, that's how we work," McFarland said.

• STEER WRESTLING -- Lee Graves of Calgary, Alberta, turfed his steer in 3.5 seconds for his first win of the Finals and fourth paycheck.

"I never blame the draw, but, being real with it, I've had some steers that aren't very good," said Graves, the reigning world champ.

Season money leader Luke Branquinho of Los Alamos, Calif., placed third to extend his lead to $19,500 over Dean Gorsuch of Gering, Neb., who finished out of the money.

But Gorsuch has a big lead in the NFR aggregate and has put each of his eight head on the ground, while Branquinho, the 2004 champ, missed one and is seventh in the event standings.

• TEAM ROPING -- Colter Todd of Marana, Ariz., and Cesar de la Cruz of Tucson, Ariz., won their first go-round by catching their steer in 4.3 seconds. They rallied from two successive no-time rounds.

Logandale brothers Jason and Randon Adams placed seventh, missing a sixth-place check by less than a second.

• SADDLE BRONC RIDING -- Jeff Willert of Belvidere, S.D., was scored 86 on Sankey Rodeo's Blazing Saddle to win for the second time in the Finals and climb to seventh in season money.

Money leader Cody DeMoss of Heflin, La., remains $6,500 ahead of Chad Ferley of Oelrichs, S.D., after both finished out of the money. But DeMoss was bucked off and needed assistance leaving the arena floor after it appeared the horse stepped on his back.

DeMoss injured the lumbar area of his spine and was taken to University Medical Center for tests. His status for tonight is unknown.

That could prove disastrous for DeMoss's title hopes because he fell to 11th in the event standings and Ferley has failed to finish his ride only once in eight go-rounds.

• CALF ROPING -- Cody Ohl of Hico, Texas, clinched his sixth world title and fifth in calf roping when he tied for first with Clint Robinson of Spanish Fork, Utah. Each roped his cattle in 7.6 seconds to win $14,341.

Las Vegas resident Matt Shiozawa finished his run in 12.1 seconds, one-tenth of a second outside of a paying sixth-place position.

• BULL RIDING -- Dustin Elliott won for the second time in three nights when he scored 91.5 on Triple V Rodeo's Q on a night when only three riders completed eight-second rides.

One of the successful riders was B.J. Schumacher, who placed second with an 86 and has covered seven of his eight bulls. His effort pushed his NFR earnings to $85,534, padding his season lead to $33,200 over Matt Austin.

Unofficially, Schumacher has clinched no worse than third in the aggregate and will finish the season with at least $217,339.
