Finkbeiner takes Hillbilly Stomp title

DELBURNE, Alberta -- Wacey Finkbeiner of Ponoka, AB earned his first ever victory in PBR competition on Friday night at the Delburne Hillbilly Stomp.

Finkbeiner, second out in the first round of competition, put up a score of 85 points which wouldn't be beaten. Even in the finals, no one would best his effort on the bull called Cream Puff from Meston Rodeo. For his work, the welder by trade earned 60 points towards the PBR's World Standings. Those points put him 70th in the world heading into Marwayne, Lamont and Tofield in the next week where 180 more potential points are available.

Second on the night went to Zane Lambert for 30 world standings points thanks to an 83 point effort on Ruckus Juice from the Eno bucking string. Lambert would take home over $2,000 in earnings.

Cole Young's 80 point ride on a bull called Drunk in the Morning would earn him the third place spot on the evening for 20 points towards the PBR's World Title and $1,292. Rounding out the top six were Mexico's Armando Davila; Australia's Taran Chirgwin and Alberta's own Wyatt Laughlin.

Bullfighter Dylan Miller was crowned the freestyle bullfighting competition champion.
