BARREL RACING
Four-time Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) barrel racing world titleholder Sherry Cervi exhibits the Standard of the West by living with integrity — inside and outside of the arena. She attributes the success of her career to the hard work and dedication she learned from her family’s lifestyle.
Her parents, Mel and Wendy Potter, operate a horse ranch in Marana, Arizona, and a cranberry marsh in Bancroft, Wisconsin. Both competed at the esteemed National Finals Rodeo (NFR), her father in calf roping and her mother in barrel racing, so it was natural Sherry followed in their boot steps with a love of competition.
Sherry's childhood revolved around horses. From a very young age, she knew she wanted to be a barrel racer with the aim of qualifying for the NFR — even just once. Little did that young girl on a stick horse know the success that awaited her hard work. This passionate drive led her to qualify for the NFR 19 times, win 3 NFR average titles, secure 4 world titles, and an induction into the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame. Sherry's career earnings have soared over $3M, making her one of the highest-paid female barrel racers in the WPRA.
Sherry produces 3 All-Youth Barrel races a year, the ‘Sherry Cervi Youth Championships’ in Buckeye, AZ, Verndale, MN, and Columbiana, OH. Each race maxes out at 400 entries.
‘It doesn’t matter how much money or how many buckles I’ve won, but what kind of person I am outside of the arena’ – Sherry Cervi
