Rapid City, S.D.; Feb. 4, 2010 --- Kaycee Feild wowed the crowd at the 2009 National Finals Rodeo by winning first or second in three rounds, and he was back to rousing fans again in Rapid City during the first performance of the Black Hills Stock Show Rodeo.

The fourth-year professional from Payson, Utah, combined with Southwick Rodeo’s bronc Hard Times for a whopping 87 points to take the early lead in the bareback riding. Feild, a collegiate national champion just two years ago, was an early fan favorite even without his recent high-scoring rides.

He’s the son of pro rodeo Hall of Famer Louis Feild, who won five world championships in the 1980s – two in bareback riding and two in the prestigious all-around category.

The other big moves of the rodeo on Thursday night were made by the defending world champion team ropers and South Dakota’s own Tierney boys. The world champs from Oklahoma, Nick Sartain and Kollin VanOhn, clocked the fastest time of the rodeo all week with a 4.3-second run, which was then matched by Jess and Paul David Tierney, from Hermosa and Oral, S.D. The two teams are tied for the lead in the second round of the team roping.

All timed-event contestants in Rapid City compete in two long rounds, with roughstock riders competing just once. The second performance begins at 1 p.m. Friday, followed by a 7 p.m. performance and matinee and evening performances again on Saturday.

A host of NFR-qualifying professional rodeo athletes are scheduled to compete Friday at 1 p.m., including Chris Harris, Evan Jayne, and Cleve Schmidt of Piedmont in bareback riding; Douglas Duncan and Ft. Pierre’s rising star Taylor Cowan in bull riding; and a who’s who of team roping that includes Garrett Tonnozi and Kinney Harrel; twins Jake and Jim Cooper; Brandon Beers and defending Bob Feist Invitational champion Ryan Motes; brothers Riley and Brady Minor; and Steve Purcella and Jhett Johnson.

On Friday at 7 p.m., the all-star lineup of roughstock riders includes bareback riders Royce Ford, Josi Young, Tom McFarland, Wes Stevenson and former world champion Kelly Timberman; bull riders Myron Duarte, Ted Bert, Wesley Silcox, Steve Woolsey and Belvidere’s recent Xtreme Bulls champ Clay Hindman. The saddle bronc riding will feature reserve 2009 champ of the world Cody Wright, Rusty Allen, Jeff Willert of Belvidere, Chad Ferley of Oelrichs, and Chet Johnson of Gillette.
