Two-time World Champion Paul Eaves heeled his steer in 5.0 seconds at San Bernardino’s Sheriff’s PRCA Rodeo Sunday, Sept. 29 to win $3,763 end the regular season team roping top 15 race and deciding the 2024 NFR team roping qualifiers.

The heeling was the only thing undecided going into the final day of PRCA regular-season competition, and Eaves—with Erich Rogers already locked in on the head side—sat $80 ahead of his buddy-teammate, Colter Todd. Todd, the reigning NFR average champion, heeled for Derrick Begay, who was also already locked in on the head side.

Rogers and Eaves roped fourth out in the performance at San Bernardino, with a 5.3 winning the rodeo. They made their signature veteran run that didn’t take any risks but still set the new pace with a 5.0, while Begay and Todd followed and took a no-time with a miss on the head side, ending the season and sending Begay to the Finals with (presumably) Florida heeler Jonathan Torres, whose header, Nelson Wyatt, finished 16th.
