Round 9 has seen the fastest runs of the National Finals Rodeo in years past, with Chad Masters and Jade Corkill breaking the world record here with a 3.3-second run in 2009, and Kaleb Driggers and Junior Nogueira tying it in 2017. Did anyone get the steers to do it in 2022?

Round 9 Team Roping Draw

Riley Minor and Brady Minor: 32

Jake Orman and Brye Crites had this steer in Round 3 and got the steer down in 4.4 seconds. He should be a good one for them to rebound with. Driggers got this one around the neck and Junior roped a leg on him in Round 6. He’s just medium.

Lightning Aguilera and Jonathan Torres: 14

Tyler Wade and Trey Yates made a 4.8-second run on him, but it was only longer because Yates bobbled his dally. Rhen Richard missed him in Round 6.

Chad Masters and Joseph Harrison: 35

Rhen Richard and Jeremy Buhler were 4.1 on him in Round 3. They missed him the first time in the run through, so he’ll have an extra run on him. Wesley Thorp roped a leg on him to be 4.0+5.
