Cervi World Champion
for the 3rd time in her career
Sherry Cervi and Stingray set a new NFR record with a run of 13.49 seconds
At the National Finals Rodeo this year Sherry Cervi was a near
lock to become a world champion, but with Vegas, you just never
know. Cervi came out in the end a big winner and the World Champion
for the 3rd time in her career.
Round 3 was the beginning of the end for the competition as
Cervi and Stingray simply ran them off their feet with a time of
13.65 and started the march towards an arena record and a world championship.
Cervi and Stingray flew into the arena on top of the ground in Round 8 and nailed the first
barrel, everyone knew the time would be fast but would it be fast
enough to put the pair in the record book? On to the second barrel,
again perfect, on to the third, nearly flawless, Stingray gets faster
every stride as they fly out of the arena, a quick peak up at the
clock...13.49 New Arena Record!
In the end, Cervi and Stingray earned the title they fought so hard
for all year long and as icing on the cake added an arena record that
will take some work to break.
It is Cervi’s third World Title (Her first in 1995, and second in
1999). The home raised MP Meter My Hay is right out of Cervi’s
parents’ (Mel & Wendy Potter) breeding program. Stingray is by their stud, PC Frenchmans Hayday (Sun Frost) and out of the 3/4 sister (Miss Meter Jet) to Cervi’s former barrel mount Hawk.
Another year comes to an end with the NFR presenting us with
a mix of familiar names and a few new stars to watch for in 2011.
From beginning to end 2010 was the year of Sherry Cervi as she
returns to championship form with her homegrown MP Meter My
Hay.
