Congratulations to Kayelen Helton,
Stephenville, TX and Matt Ingle, Cumby, TX for winning the #13.5 Heartland in
Hamilton, TX on June 24. Kayelen and Matt were second high call with a time of
24.46 on three head of steer, needing a 9.01 or better to jump to first. They
were able to do just that with a time on the last steer of 8.69, besting the
field by .33 seconds giving them 33.15 on 4. Things fell apart for the high
call team of Shane Williams and producer Troy Shelley, giving Helton and Ingle
the win. The sixth team back of Cassidy Boggs & Cody Tew took home second,
with a 7.82 on their short-go steer. The $2500 short-go fast time went to the
25th call, as Micah Smith and Kelly Boswell roped their final steer
in 6.11 seconds. With their first-place
win, Helton and Ingle took home $18,700 along with Cactus Saddlery Trophy
Saddles and Pads, and Gist Silversmith HL Champion Buckles. Congratulations to
all of the Heartland winners who all qualified for the Ariat WSTR Finale
