![]() ![]() \"I competed in my first rodeo when I was 2 years old,\" Smith said. ![]() Both have ridden horses for as long as they can remember. While little separated the two cowgirls timewise, a closer look reveals they are similar in other areas. \"I had lots of baby powder to soften 'em up. \"It was humid this morning, which is usually bad for your rope,\" Leas said. On top of those challenges, the muddy, wet conditions Tuesday morning also made the competition more difficult. Unlike baseball pitchers, however, to win an event like the Little Britches Finals, they have to throw a strike every time.

The key to posting a quick time in breakaway roping, an event designed to prepare competitors to compete in team roping when they get older, is to start out quickly. \"Now, all I've got to do is catch on my second run,\" Leas said.

The difference separating the two riders is little more than the blink of an eye, and both came away from the performance satisfied. Leas, a 17-year-old cowgirl from Las Vegas, Nev., one-upped Smith with a time of 3.15 seconds, which stood up as the fastest time in the performance. Nobody came close to that time until Leas entered the box. Smith, a 17-year-old cowgirl from Montrose, recorded a blistering 3.86-second run in the senior girls breakaway roping Tuesday morning at the 2005 National Little Britches Finals Rodeo.
