  • 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.

(Jan. 16, 2013) --- There is little doubt that a future bull riding super star made his debut at this year’s Denver Chute-Out. Joseph McConnel, from Bloomfield, N.M., had the biggest win of his career at the Professional Bull Riders Touring Division Finale here on Wednesday night. McConnel was one of the most consistent bull riders at this year’s event with 86.5 point efforts in the first and semi-final rounds. He then came back in the finals and rode D&H Cattle Company’s bull Western Show for 89 points, the highest marked ride of the event. He had a total of 262 points earned the 18-year-old $23,656. Just six months ago, he was dominating the ranks of high school rodeo earning three major championships shortly after graduating. He was the New Mexico High School Rodeo Champion bull rider which earned him a trip to the National High School Finals where he was again crowned champion. He topped his high school career off with another championship at the International Youth Finals Rodeo. “I got off of my third bull and was just looking at the clock,” McConnel said. “When I saw that 8.00, I just about lost it. All of my bulls here were perfect. It’s a little unreal to win an event this big.” The money he won here is likely to move him up in the ranks of the PBR to the Built Ford Tough Series.

But over the next week or so, they’re not alone in seeking make-believe bragging rights or grabbing some real cash. Rodeo has gone fantasy. And in fact, the official online version of fantasy rodeo is celebrating its 10th anniversary at this year’s National Finals Rodeo, where there is plenty of cash on the line, along with the grand prize: a new Dodge Ram truck valued at $40,000. ProFantasyRodeo.com is the brainchild of steer wrestler K.C. Jones — who is competing in his seventh NFR at the Thomas & Mack Center — and business partner Jace Honey. There’s only one “game” in this fantasy league season, though — the NFR. “The National Finals is kind of the Super Bowl for cowboys, ranchers, rural communities,” Jones said. “And our Super Bowl is when you get to watch rodeo on TV. ” Jones said the league went to the Web after years of informal play. “Every year, we kind of had a group of buddies, and they’d pick teams — one K.M.

  • National Western Rodeo Underway
    Reigning World Champ Takes Lead at National Western By Susan Kanode For the National Western Stock Show DENVER, Colo. --- A near capacity crowd at the National Western Stock Show Rodeo got to see rodeo history on Monday afternoon. Trevor Brazile, from Decatur, Texas, made history in 2009 when he won his seventh world championship in the all-around category in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Brazile is tied with Ty Murray for the most all-around titles in the association and surpassed Larry Mahan and Tom Ferguson with last year’s win. He is now working towards a record eighth championship and will stand alone as king of the cowboys when that happens, and if his performance here is any indication it could very well be in 2010. Brazile, who is also the reigning tie-down roping champion, took the lead in the first round of that event with a blazing 7.4-second run. Riding his great buckskin horse, Jaguar, he made a near perfect run that is the fastest seen in the Denver Coliseum in the past two years. Doug Pharr, from Victoria, Texas, also stopped the clock in 7.4 seconds in 2008. This was Brazile’s first of two appearances in tie-down roping. His second will be at the Tuesday matinee, beginning at 2 p.m. He competed in team roping on Sunday where he and Patrick Smith had a time of 5.3 seconds in the first round. That is currently in third place in the round. They failed to connect in the second round, so will be waiting to see if they remain among the top eight in the first round to get a share of the prize money.

Eight competitors from the Qualifying Round in each event rode for the chance to win a spot in the finals on March 26. The next two days of rodeo will bring heightened competition as cowboys and cowgirls showcase their hard work while riding for the title of Champion and a customized Rodeo Austin branding iron. Bull rider Clayton Foltyn was be among the athletes returning tonight after advancing from the Qualifying Round on March 15 with a score of 74. “I am lucky that I made it back to the playoff round,” Foltyn said. “I am glad that I did my part and competed as hard as I could. The competition is always strong, and you never know what kind of bull you’ll draw, so all you can do is give it your best shot and hope that it goes your way.” Foltyn is from Winnie, Texas and has been around rodeo for as long as he can remember. In fact, it’s somewhat of a family business. “My grandfather and my dad both rode bulls professionally,” Foltyn said. “I was basically born into the sport of rodeo, traveling around watching my family compete before eventually getting into the arena myself.” Today, Foltyn has been competing professionally in bull riding for more than 12 years.

    PBR WORLD CHAMPION PBR WORLD CHAMPIONS Each year, the PBR World Champion is determined by the most PBR world points earned throughout the season. In 2019, 22-year-old Jess Lockwood made history, becoming the youngest two-time PBR World Champion in league history. Starting the season with back-to-back Unleash The Beast wins in New York City and Chicago, Lockwood quickly surged to the world No. 1 ranking. His season, however, was nearly derailed in February after breaking his collarbone during the 2019 PBR Global Cup USA. Sidelined for three months, Lockwood slipped to No. 4 in the world. However, a strong summer campaign, which included five Touring Pro Division event wins, coupled with a victory at both the 15/15 Bucking Battle and main event in Tulsa, the first event of the second-half, propelled him back to the No. 1 ranking. Winning the Houston event the subsequent weekend, Lockwood, who also won two additional 15/15 Bucking Battles, entered the World Finals the No. 2-ranked rider in the world. Locked in a ride-for-ride slug fest with fellow title contenders Jose Vitor Leme and Chase Outlaw, Lockwood’s 5-for-6 showing at the World Finals not only earned him the victory at the sport’s most prestigious event, but also allowed him to claim the 2019 PBR World Championship. Earning $1,873,731.80, Lockwood, who is now sixth in the PBR for all-time earnings, broke Justin McBride’s single-season earnings record from 2007 when he collected $1,835,321. Additionally, Lockwood is now one of only five athletes to win the World Championship and World Finals event title in the same season, joining: Mike Lee (2004), Renato Nunes (2010), J.B.
