Before Thursday, veteran tie-down roper Hunter Herrin was having a decent NFR, placing in three rounds.
In Round 8, things got even better for the Apache, Okla., cowboy. Herrin stopped the clock in 7.4 seconds for the win.
Herrin has won $84,950 at the NFR and is seventh in the world standings with $199,502.
“The start is so important. After coming out late the first couple rounds, I’ve found my groove these past three rounds,” Herrin said. “Tonight, I pulled but my horse was running through the pull. Thankfully, he let me get her roped and then he did his job. Fortunately, this time I was able to come out on top. We’re going to head down (to the South Point for the go-round buckle) meet some family, and just enjoy the process.”
Herrin has a simple strategy for Rounds 9 and 10.
“Tomorrow night’s calves are really strong. I think 10-11 guys will have a really good chance to win,” Herrin said. “I know I will have two good calves that a guy should win on with a good run. We’re just going to try and hit the barrier, tie them down, and hopefully it will deposit me a little more money.”
