In the super senior class, Cole Magnuson rode well to kick off the weekend. He scored an 81 in the first go and a 71 in the second. He made it to the semis but was bucked off. He finished in 12th in the world standings. Hunter Hopes and Rigin Ivie had their weekend cut short as they did not make their rides in the long go.
Other members of the McArthur Mini Bulls Association that made the trip were Chris Staley (seventh seniors), Jaden Allison (13th seniors) and Ryder Reiner (seventh peewee). Reiner rode all four of his bulls. Mcennon Williams and Hayden Sumway also competed but were unable to put down a qualifying ride.
