Let’er Buck: Who’s Sitting Where After Pendleton Roundup Tuesday Slack

Pendleton Rodeo has been full of fast and furious competitors during three days of slack. Slack is the overflow of competitors that compete early because 500 riders can’t all compete in one night or performance.
The riders in the following events Barrel Racing, Breakaway Roping, Team Roping, and Steer Wrestling competed Monday and Tuesday morning in Slack to try to punch their ticket to the final round on Saturday Sept. 16.
There are still a few rounds of performances and slacks between them and the finals but their spots might hold! The top-12 in each event move on to the finals.
