Marti Snyder teamed up with mom Joyce Miranda to dominate the Dally Team Roping Sunday.
The Snyder/Miranda duo clocked in at 35.18, a strong finish over second finisher Summer Malina and Joyce Miranda who stopped the clock at 58.87.
Third in that event went to the pair of Kelli Carveiro and Julie Akita who tripped the clock at 86.48 and Snyder copped fourth place with Corrina Schumacher on a 16.48 run on one go.
That performance, coupled with two second place finishes, earned Snyder All Around Cowgirl honors at the Kaua‘i All Girl Rodeo Association event Sunday at the CJM Country Stables in Po‘ipu.
Working under winds whipping up the dust at 15-20 mph, Kristyn Vasconcelles netted the Reserve All Around Cowgirl honors.
Vasconcelles was tops in the Steer Undecorating event with a 4.07 go followed by Akita who stopped the clock at 4.53. Third place honors went to Snyder who stripped the flag in 5.89 and Laureen Naumu-Balocan settled at fourth on a 6.93 go.
Vasconcelles finished third in the 3D Barrels event with an 18.224 go in the First Division and settled for fifth place in the Breakaway Roping event with a 3.76 on one go.

Rhonda Kaui was smooth in her ride, cheered on by a good-sized rodeo-appreciating audience, netting top honors in the 3D Barrels, Third Division with a 20.675 go. Sherri Carveiro, smartly garbed in black and pink, filled in second at 20.90 with Hoolai Ludington-Braun (21.033) and Michelle Ientile (21.724) rounding out the Division 3 leaders.
