She finished out of the money in Thursday's first round, then won a check with a sixth-place finish in the second round, finished fourth Saturday and finally won Sunday's round. Halls is sixth in the world standings after squeaking into the NFR at No. 14. She has won $25,324 in Las Vegas, third-best among barrel racers.
