Below are highlights of the Long Nine Cowboys, including:
- 6 clean shooters
- 2 Illinois Champions
- Fastest cowboy rifleman on the range
- Prettiest B-Western Cowboy

Not all participants at the match were from Illinois, hence, it’s possible to have a different standing for Illinois than in the overall standing.
