Tucson Rodeo Champions Crowned
(Tucson, Ariz.) – The 84th annual Tucson Rodeo ended with seven contestants clinching championships before 11,000 fans and a celebrated veteran cowboy taking home the all-around championship buckle for the third time.
Tie-down and team roper Joe Beaver of Huntsville, Texas won the Lynn Beutler Award as this year’s all-around champion with $2,144 in earnings – the all-around champion title is awarded to the contestant who earns the most money in two or more events. Beaver previously won all-around in Tucson in 1997 and 2000.
Brian Curtis of Belle Fourche, S.D. closed the show with a 92-point ride on Beutler & Son Rodeo’s Tokyo Drift – one point shy of the arena record held by Dustin Elliot (2006). Curtis qualified yesterday on a reride.
The Tucson Rodeo enjoyed a 31% increase in attendance over last year. Officials credit outstanding weather and the rodeo’s recognition as a great entertainment value for visitors, families and fans of all ages.
