 Welcome to the 2017 NCAA World Finals. I'm here with the winner of the $25,000 novice non-pro, Tyler DeLang, who rode Rode Lewis the Cat. Congratulations to you, Tyler. Thank you, thank you. Take us through your rounds here. You go rounds. So yesterday, I marked a 227, and me, my grandpa, Rick Dubey, Casey, Ben and Galen Wells, we all kind of had a plan going on what cows to cut. My first cow was good, didn't really worry me at all. My second cow, I think we planned to cut it. She kind of rolled up on the outside a little bit and shaped up real good for me. And my third cow, I was, I think I turned around with about 50 seconds to go, so I just wanted to take my time in the herd and be smooth and patient. And so I kind of went to the back fence, came out, turned around, and I was going for a cherry red, but she kind of didn't shape up real well. So Casey said, stay black. And she kind of came around this outside and was real good. And I dropped down with about 28 seconds to go and Lewis just held it there. He just did his job. Okay, what is it like to compete in the water arena? It's great. This is my first time here. And I really liked the arena. You know, my horse likes it and ground was good and no complaints. Now, as you say, it's the first time you've hit the road and competed for the world finals to take it out. How does that feel? It feels great. I had a great year. First couple of months, I started off a little bit rough, but after Jackson actually, that was kind of my turning point in the year. And we just didn't quit from there and I had a lot of fun all year. Well, you finished up the year before you came to the finals, 20,000 ahead. That's a pretty strong lead. How did that affect the way or your game plan for the finals? Well, the last three months actually, we were already in the lead quite a bit, both me and Casey. And so the last three months, we're just kind of fun showing our horse. He stayed real healthy and he loves it. And then coming here, we just wanted to keep doing the same thing, just stick to the basics and just have a good time. Okay, now, this horse is obviously rather remarkable because he's won the non-pro and in the same event, the Open with Casey. Tell us about, firstly, how did you come across this horse? My mom, Amy DeLang, and my grandfather, Rick Dubay, they came down here for the sale that's coming up and we bought them there. And my mom has a real good eye for horses and I just trusted her. And the first time I showed him, I marked a four on him and I just kind of fell in love with him there. He still holds a very special spot in my heart. And was it always this horse or did you have some other horses on the road that you also competed on? Just him, just him all year. So that's quite an amazing feat. That's a lot of competitions and shows and hauling. How did you keep him sound? Well, so he walked in the herd between 290 and 300 times, just this year between me and Casey. We just kind of let him be a horse and just let him do his job. So what's happening next to you for you? We don't know yet. We're gonna see how the first year starts open in non-pro. But after that, we're just gonna go from there and take it day by day. So what's your advice for somebody who wants to go hauling for the World Finals? Go do it. Don't stop at anything. Just keep going and having a good time. Thank you for joining us.
