Thursday, Dec. 7, 2000 | 10:24 a.m.
Joe Beaver continued his quest for a third world champion All-Around Cowboy title by winning $9,108 during Wednesday night's National Finals Rodeo and moving into second place in the all-around standings.
Beaver did not cash in the team roping event, but tied for second in calf roping to push his NFR earnings to $59,736.05 and his total season winnings to $61,776.52. He trails Scott Johnston by $22,285.20 going into tonight's seventh go-round at the Thomas & Mack.
Reigning All-Around champion Fred Whitfield tied with Beaver for second place in the calf roping go-round and moved from fifth to third in the all-around world standings. Whitfield, the defending calf roping world champion, leads the world standings in that event after six go-rounds.
Calf roper Trevor Brazile did not cash Wednesday and slipped from second to fourth in the all-around; J.D. Crouse went from fourth to fifth and Blair Burk slipped from sixth to eighth.
