CASPER, Wyo. - With a 12.6-second time on Friday evening, Northwest freshman team roper Laine Moore punched his ticket into the championship round at the College National Finals Rodeo.

Moore, along with team roping partner Tanner Brown (East Mississippi), successfully bounced back from a no score on Monday to earn a 7.7-second time on Tuesday. The duo ranked 44th in the average standings entering Friday's third-go, rising all the way to 11th in the nation with Friday's successful performance, totaling a time of 20.3 seconds across three rounds. 

"Their first round didn't go as planned earlier this week," Northwest rodeo coach Will Lummus said. "(But) they've stayed true to what they know and that has paid off for them in the end."

Meanwhile, steer wrestler Christian Cagle's CNFR run came to an end, as the Canton, Ga. native finished 14th in the nation out of 41 participants. Cagle finished ninth in the third-go on Wednesday evening, placing eighth in the average standings. However, he had to wait out the remainder of the third-go and 24 other steer wrestlers over the next two evenings, falling to 11th after Thursday evening and 14th after Friday's run.

Cagle logged a 4.7-second time on Monday, a 10.5-second result in Tuesday's second-go and a 4.9-second time on Wednesday evening. He also competed in saddle bronc riding, placing 36th out of 40 competitors, plagued no scores in the first and third rounds.

Additionally, Kent Jordan placed 20th in the average steer wrestling standings, while Will Collier finished 38th. Collier, a native of Malden, Mo., rebounded from no scores recorded in the first two rounds to notch an 11.2-second time in the third-go.

Saturday's CNFR championship round is scheduled to begin at 8 P.M. Central (7 P.M. Mountain), with live coverage available through the ESPN app. Fans wanting to watch Moore and the CNFR coverage can access the ESPN app on any smart TV or mobile device, with your cable or streaming provider's login.
