Coverchuk wins Mayhem in Meadow for second year in a row
It was a winning evening for one of Meadow Lake’s own.
June 7 was a success for Cody Coverchuk, the locally born bull-rider who is currently sitting at first in the Bull Riders Canada (BRC) standings.
He was one of only four out of 30 riders who had qualifying rides during the Mayhem in Meadow bull riding event. Coverchuk came out on top with a score of 168 after two rounds, which clinched the championship spot. Justin Siemens, of Rimbey, Alta., Dawson Shannon, of Drayton Valley, Alta., and Denver Sisson, of Caroline, Alta., came in second, third and fourth with scores of 75, 74.5, and 64.
“I feel great,” Coverchuk said. “I got on two really good bulls. Bull riding is a tough sport, hard on the body and definitely hard on the mind at points, but nothing compares to when you make a huge ride at your hometown show in the championship round. Doesn’t get much better than this.”
