FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
There were two numbers that were significant for steer wrestler Straws Milan as he bulldogged his way into the Canadian Pro Rodeo record book during the Saturday night performance at the newly-minted K-Days Rodeo in Edmonton.
One was the 2.9 second run that not only earned the five time Canadian Finals Rodeo qualifier the first place $9982.80 cheque but also equaled the fastest time ever recorded in Canadian steer wrestling since the inception of the barrier—2.9 seconds. The time matched that of three men: Ralph Nelson, Darby Roy and David Gibson. Gibson posted his time at the Stavely Pro Rodeo in 1996—twenty-three years ago.
But the other number that was particularly significant to Milan was the number 22.
