Dawson Hay earned fourth place with a score of 87.5, while Logan Hay was bucked off, resulting in a zero-point performance. Consequently, Logan Hay has plummeted from first to fourth place in the overall Pool C standings. Alberta’s Ty Miller and Harley Cole faced setbacks in the Steer Wrestling bout.
