Lifelong Anza resident Shannon Clawson won the Barrel Racing event at the Jurupa Valley Community Pro Rodeo.
Clawson rode in the June 6 performance of the June 6-7 rodeo at Rick Thompson Arena in Jurupa Valley. Clawson, who rode a 16‑year-old mare called The Clean, had a time of 15.32 seconds on her run.
“I was just happy she was good in town,” Clawson said.
Clawson earned $468 for her first-place position. Grace Sutton of Beaumont had the second-place run of 16.53 seconds. Santa Rosa cowgirl Jessica Jones placed third with a time of 15.79 seconds.
Although the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association are separate organizations, most PRCA rodeos include Barrel Racing and Breakaway Roping and WPRA members can compete in those events. Clawson has been a WPRA member for 12 years.
The Jurupa Valley Community Pro Rodeo was the only rodeo Clawson entered that weekend.
