Cinch BRC's TX Summer Shootout ran two full days of breakaway roping across six divisions each day, and when the dust settled, the total told the story: $47,331 paid out between Day 1 and Day 2. Audrey Fish was the story of the weekend, banking Champion titles in three different ropings and closing in on $10,000 across the two days. Jean Poythress swept the top two spots in the #2 American Hat Shootout, and Braylyn Glenn closed out Day 2 with the #1 Smarty Shootout win and two fast times in the same roping.
