  • SETTING RECORDS, CROWNING CHAMPS Kansas Bareback Rider Repeats Title; World Champion Barrel Racer Sets Arena Record
    For more information: Ruth Nicolaus (319) 321-2152 For Kansas’ Biggest Rodeo SETTING RECORDS, CROWNING CHAMPS Kansas bareback rider repeats title; world champion barrel racer sets arena record Phillipsburg, Kans. (August 7, 2021) – In the bareback riding, Kansas cowboy Jesse Pope won the Phillipsburg title for the second consecutive year. The 22-year-old cowboy rode Beutler and Son Rodeo’s Nutrena’s Election Day for 87.5 points and $2980. It was a full eight seconds, Pope said. “It felt like we were doing a lot of things. She’s a pretty small horse and really electric and she bucked hard. I had to sit on the gas pedal the whole time and wait for the buzzer.” A recent graduate of Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Mo., Pope is ranked seventh in the world standings after an outstanding summer. He sat out of rodeo for two months with a fractured L5 vertebrae that pinched a disk, but over the week preceding and following July 4, Cowboy Christmas, won $21,000, and in the month of July, won $50,000. Pope made a big impression at his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo last year, finishing as the average champion and third place in the world. Last year’s National Finals was a jumping off point for this year. “A lot of people didn’t know me, going into the Finals last year. I was feeling really going into it, and won the average. I’ve been building off of that. I took it, built a fire with it, and I’ve been putting gas on the fire every time I get on.” He loves coming to Kansas Biggest Rodeo.

  • Iowa Man Wins Bareback Riding at Elk City Rodeo for a Third Time; Several Contestants Pad Their World Standings Leads
    For more information: Ruth Nicolaus (319) 321-2152 For the Elk City Rodeo of Champions RODEO THREE-PEAT Iowa man wins bareback riding at Elk City rodeo for a third time; several contestants pad their world standings leads ELK CITY, OKLA. – (September 6, 2020) – The third time’s just as charming as the first time for a world champion. For the third time in four years, Tim O’Connell won the bareback riding at the Elk City (Okla.) Rodeo of Champions, sponsored by Lucky Star Casino. The three-time PRCA world champion bareback rider scored 87 points on the Beutler and Son Rodeo horse Anything Goes for the win. It was a ride the perfectionist found reasons to critique. “It wasn’t the ride I wanted to put on,” O’Connell said. “I felt like I was in a dog fight tonight. I felt like he knocked me forward, out of position. It wasn’t the controlled, snappy, sharp ride I wanted. But it was a really good ride. I’m just super-critical of myself.” O’Connell stands on the top of the PRCA world standings, heading into the last few weeks of the PRCA season, which ends Sept. 30. He is about $26,000 ahead of the number two bareback rider, Kaycee Feild, but that doesn’t matter to O’Connell. “There’s no such thing as a safe lead. I’ve had that number one spot pretty much the whole year, and I don’t plan on giving it up.” O’Connell won the Elk City Rodeo last year (88.5 points) and in 2017 (85 points).
