In Denver- the OSU team bested Texas A&M by 55 points to claim top honors. OSU was led by Ashlyn O’Brien who came to Stillwater from Ohio by way of Butler Community College- she was the high individual overall at the NWSS- besting teammate Braylon Spears by three points. She matched her score in Denver that she racked up in Oklahoma City a few days earlier- 942- that earned her a fourth place finish at Cattlemen’s Congress- she was the high individual on the team for the second contest in a row. Spears also duplicated his score in both the Oklahoma City and Denver contests.
OSU Coach Parker Henley says in a Facebook post that OSU wants to thank the staff at both the Cattlemen’s Congress, and the NWSS, for putting on high quality contests.
