LAS VEGAS, NV – Another trip to the National Finals Rodeo wrapped up for Northwest Mississippi Community College Rodeo Head Coach Will Lummus and while the overall numbers didn't go the way that the veteran was hoping there were still pleny of highlights for the Ranger's head man.
Lummus finished in 15th in the average with only seven catches with an average of less than four seconds on each of his catches. Unfortunately, the no catches came back to bite him in the overall standings, and in the money standings where Tucker Allen came back to pass him with the average win.
Lummus still walked away as the Reserve World Champion with $334,833 in earnings on the season which was just over $10,000 ahead of Jesse Brown in second place. Allen finished just shy of $400,000 after taking home the $94,036 available to the gold buckle winner and NFR Champion.
The highlight of the rodeo for Lummus came in the fourth round when he split the fastest time for a round win after throwing the steer in 4.0 seconds.
He also picked up top three times in Round 2 (4.0), Round 5 (3.7), finished fourth in Round 6 (4.6), and tied for second in Round 9 (3.8) before closing out the rodeo with a third-place finish in Round 10 with a 3.9.
This was the eighth appearance at the NFR in his professional career and has now finished as the Reserve World Champion four times in the last five years.
