Clay Tryan might not have had a record-smashing season in 2021 just yet, but at 42, he's the most veteran team roper qualifying for this year's Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. 
Currently with $78,519.93 in earnings on the year, Tryan sits sixth in the world heading for Jake Long. The three-time World Champion from Billings, Montana, is on the cusp of his 19th NFR qualification, and over his two decades at the top of the ProRodeo pack has had to evolve his roping and his horsepower to fit the ever-changing pace of the game. In this episode of The Score, Tryan analyzes his roping in 2021 and compares himself to the young talents he's competing with today.

Though the ProRodeo spring run is in full swing, The Short Score is reflecting on Luke Brown's Pendleton Round-Up in 2008. Back in 2008, Luke qualified for his first NFR where he would place in seven of 10 rounds. But his trip to Las Vegas wasn’t really punched until September that year when he won the Pendleton Round-Up with his regular season partner Monty Joe Petska. On this episode, Chelsea Shaffer, host of The Score, has a quick conversation with Luke about winning Pendleton that year and why it was so important. This episode is an inside like at an article from the May 2024 issue of The Team Roping Journal Magazine, reliving the win and featuring cool pictures from the day.
