Hervey Increases Lead in BRC National Standings
BYEMOOR and TOFIELD, Alberta -- 2013 Bull Riders Canada National Champion Brian Hervey increased his lead in the 2015 National
Standings with a second place finish on Friday at the Byemoor Bull-A-Rama.
On a weekend that featured nearly $10,000 in added money between two events, Hervey may not have been the big weekend winner but
the points are adding up in his favor so far. Currently, the Brant, AB athlete is ahead of second-place Devon Mezei by 310 points. Mezei
overtook the second spot with his third best score from the long go to finish sixth overall.
Tyler Pankewitz earned the win in Byemoor with his 169.5 points on two bulls highlighted by his 88 on Strong Foundation from Big Country
Rodeo in the short go. Pankewitz jumped to seventh in the BRC Standings with the win.
The following video covers Brian Hervey, Shay Marks and Tyler Pankewitz’ rides from the Byemoor short go.

On Saturday night, the BRC was in Tofield. For those of you who haven't been to Tofield for the bull riding yet, first of all you better get
your tickets early, but secondly, it's one of the best produced events in the entire organization. From pyro in the opening done by Shaun
Morton to the contestant, volunteer and sponsor dinner before and after the event.
Curtis Neufeld, his parents Rick and Cindy and all the rest of the crew in Tofield do an outstanding job.
They had an outstanding pen of bulls and talent pool for bull riders this year as well. With ten qualified rides in the long go, it took 81.5
points to even make it back.
When the dust settled, Zane Lambert emerged victorious earning over $3,500 for his efforts. The highlight of the evening was his 89.5 to
win the short go and event on the back of Hillbilly Heaven from the Wild Hoggs. Lambert earned 390 points in Tofield and now sits 11th in
the BRC National Standings.

29 of the top 30 bull riders in the BRC have already earned money in only nine events thus far. Over $63,000 has been paid out in those
events thus far as well.
Bull Riders Canada Inc. has a big announcement coming up this week in regards to expansion into Eastern Canada. Stay tuned for more.
