Consistency

Consistent practice, consistency of roping fundamentals make for a consistent finish. Last night, Chris Perry, a Camarillo student not unfamilar with either the pay window or headlines, finished 2nd in Oakdale at the California High School Rodeo Association Jackpot Fundraiser. The roping capped at 8, had 160 teams entered. Chris was edged out by less than 2 seconds on 4 head for second. He also finished 7th with Cody Peterson, going to the pay window twice. Other Camarillo roping students did well too. Amanda Valente and Colton Farquer were called back in the high teams as well. On Sunday, October 4th, Colton placed 2nd in the Calf Roping and 2nd in the average. Typical of results from Leo and Jerold Camarillo, someone took notice of his improvement. "Is that your boy?" he asked. "No, answered Jerold, but I coach him on a regular basis". "I can tell" he answered. "That was a slick move under the rope". Certainly there are a number of ropers holding clinics and schools across the nation. Many if not most have something to offer. One thing is certain, the Camarillos continue to influence calf and team roping at the Senior, Professional, Collegiate, and High School level. This weekend was no exception.
