At age 68, Burger set a record as the oldest person to win a world championship in barrel racing in either the Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) or the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). The barrel racing event consists of completing a cloverleaf pattern around pre-set barrels in the fastest time.
