Barrel racing record set a National Western Stock Show Rodeo

 DENVER, Colo. (Jan. 18, 2025) — Saturday at the National Western Stock Show was filled with rodeo action with three performances of professionals competing.

The standout of all three rodeos was Pilot Point, Texas, resident Sharin Hall and her eight-year-old mare, Hello Stella. They have had a lot of success in the barrel racing futurity world and are now going to rodeos hoping to qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo next December where world champions are crowned. Hall is currently in the top 40 in the world standings, but that could change with the success they are having in the Denver Coliseum.

At the Saturday matinee performance, she and “Stella” stopped the clock in 14.46 seconds setting an arena record. The previous record was set by Tessa Arnold, from Coleman, Texas, last year at 14.50.

Hall’s record was in the first round of competition. She came back at the evening performance and stopped the clock in 14.74 seconds. She is at the top of the leaderboard in her bracket and will be back here next Saturday to compete in the Semi-Finals where all of the competition starts with a clean slate. If her success continues through the Semi-Finals, she will advance to the Championship Finals and will have a chance to win her first title at the National Western Stock Show Rodeo.

There will be two performances of the rodeo on Sunday, January 19, at 2 and 6:30 p.m. It will feature a new set of competitors in Bracket 4 competing in two rounds. The top three contestants in each event from eight brackets will be part of the Semi-Finals on Saturday, Jan. 25.
