Sharon DeLaGrange and Robin Yerxa - Your 2014 RAM PRCA California Circuit Finals Rodeo Timers
Timers hold the official stopwatches for every event, except barrel racing where they act as back-ups for an electric timer. Having an unobstructed view of everything that goes on inside the arena, they carefully respond to what they see. Their full attention must be given to each and every contestant to ensure accuracy and fairness in each timed event.
Even though they are rarely seen, fans know they are there – especially when they hear one of the best sounds in rodeo – The Official Timer sounding that loud horn or whistle indicating a contestant has completed an “8-Second Ride”.
Working hand in hand with the Rodeo Secretary and Judges, they ensure that all proper records are kept – together they are responsible for the accuracy of the sport!
