TORRINGTON – After five trips to the National Circuit Finals Steer Roping, Chris Glover of the Mountain States Circuit grabbed his first title with a 9.7 in the four-man final round at the Goshen County Fairgrounds Pavillion on Sunday.
Glover, 56, kicked things off strong, tying for third place with Travis Mills in Round 1 with an 11.9. Although the second round was a 14-second run for Glover, he remained in the average standings, ranking third with 25.9 on two head.
“I had a tougher time in the second round,” the Colorado cowboy said. “The third round was all fresh steers and mine ducked down to the left fence and I missed him. I was a little disappointed, but if I kept roping and trying – it goes back to what my dad always told me, ‘you can only rope and tie as fast he lets you.’”
Once the top-eight cowboys are determined in the first six rounds, nothing that happened before matters and they’ve all got equal footing for a chance at the title. At the end of the first six rounds, Glover was tied for seventh place with Chance Kelton, both cowboys had 63.7 on five head.
