GLENDALE, Ariz. - Heading into the second to last weekend of the PBR Team events in Glendale, Arizona, the teams are ready to roll. Tonight's event has a lot to offer for the athletes and their fans. 

There will be a little bit of magic approaching night one of Ridge Rider Days. Austin Gamblers had a flawless 3-0 in last weekend's event in Greensboro, North Carolina, making a record-setting fourth event win of the season. 

The Gamblers are just two wins away from securing the No. 1 spot heading into the PBR Camping World Team Series Championship. Securing two more wins will allow Austin to hold the No. 1 spot for the second consecutive season. 

Legend J.B. Mauney was surpassed by Arizona Ridge Rider's Jose Vitor Leme in the previous weekend making his 76 career premier series ride. Leme walked it off for the Ridge Riders, making it his sixth walk-off ride of the season.

ISABELLE BROWN

Isabelle is from a small town in southern Illinois where she grew to love her family, friends, and small-town community. Growing up in a small town, she learned and started her background in agriculture and knowledge of equine and barrel racing. Isabelle spent many years riding and training with her uncle, this allowed her to work with many young futurity prospects. Barrel racing brought her some of her closest friends and her to some of the best opportunities she has been presented in her life. She was a part of 4-H from the time she was in the 3rd grade till her graduating year of high school which allowed her to broaden her knowledge outside of equine.  After graduating high school in 2019 Isabelle moved to Murray, Kentucky where she continued her education at Murray State University. Although she wasn’t a participant on the rodeo team she traveled with the team to most of their events. She also continued to individually compete in barrel racing until 2022. At the start of 2022, she decided to take a break from school to travel and to find what her passion was. She found herself in north Texas. This led her to the opportunity to start and grow with Sports Illustrated Rodeo Daily. She plans to use this opportunity to spread her knowledge and love for the animals and the sport(s) they allow us to engage in.  Instagram: izzyb_brown01
