Sydney - Australian rodeo rider Greg Meech was named all- around national champion on the same night he was trampled to death by a bull, news reports said Monday. "On the completion of that bull ride we had the presentation night for the 2007 awards, and Greg actually won the all-round champion in the cowboy title," National Rodeo Association spokesman Jason Hall told national broadcaster ABC. "He ... would have been crowned, or still is, the all-round champion for 2007."
Meech, 33, died Saturday in Ipswich Hospital from internal bleeding after he was thrown and trampled by a bull at a rodeo in Ipswich, near Brisbane.
