In team penning, Erika Burdine, Haja Anis and Jaeden Biehn totaled three pens and three cows for a time of 148.68.
On their first go, the trio posted a 48.979 with a cow and added another cow and a mark of 40.527 on their second try, before ending the day at 59.175 with a cow to secure second place overall behind Ridgeview, who had three pens, five cows and a total time of 168.1.
“Team penning remained the favorite event for Erika, with the team placing so well,” coach Biehn said.
