Steer wrestler Will Lummus didn’t have the best start to this year’s National Finals Rodeo .

Lummus arrived in Las Vegas leading the world standings in a tight steer wrestling field but failed to record times in two of the first three go-rounds.

The 33-year-old from Byhalia, Mississippi, picked the perfect time to get his first go-round win at the NFR. Lummus posted a time of 4.0 seconds to share Sunday night’s steer wrestling win with Tucker Allen, of Ventura, California, on the fourth night of competition at the Thomas & Mack Center.

“It felt good,” Lummus said. “I didn’t love the steer that I had drawn, but I knew I could win something if I just did my job. I rode better this night than I have the previous three nights. Some guys had bad luck and they let me capitalize and win.”
