Athletes traveled from across the U.S. to compete at Cowtown Coliseum in The American Semi-Finals, which determines who will have a chance to compete for $2.35 million at AT&T Stadium in The American. Today concludes the second day of the Semi-Finals and is the start of who will advance to compete at AT&T Stadium on March 2-3 for a total purse of $2.35 million. “The excitement continues to grow at Cowtown Coliseum,” said Randy Bernard. “The competition has noticeably heightened. We have one day left to see who will compete at The American.” In tonight’s events, Garrett Shadbolt rode bareback bronc AMERICAN GRAFFITTI for 84.5 points and to the top of the leaderboard on night two. The bareback riders came to win tonight, with Daylon Swearingen taking a 82.5 ride on BEAR NAKED for second place and Casey Colletti finishing just behind him in third with 82 points on WHITCHY WOMAN. In the steer wrestling, Bridger Anderson threw down his steer for the fastest time of the second performance with a 3.99. Justin Shaffer was hot on his heels with a 4.5 and JD Struxness, who came in third, had a 4.72. “Athletes and fans alike are that much closer to The American, the weekend they’ve been waiting for all year long,” said Bernard. When the flag dropped for Dustin Morgan and Nick Rowland in the team roping, they shot to the lead in the second performance with a 5.01. The most successful cowboy of all time, Trevor Brazile, turned a steer for his heeler, Billie Jack Saebens, and the team stopped the clock with a time of 5.28, finishing in second place. Finishing third with a 6.12 was Spencer Mitchell on the head side with Russell Cardoza heeling. In the saddle bronc, Layton Green rode saddle bronc PULP FICTION for eight seconds and earned a score of 81.75, winning the second performance of the Semi-Finals. Aboard SNAKE STOMPER, former world champion Spencer Wright rode to a score of 81. Half a point behind, Wyatt Casper finished third in the performance with a score of 80.5. In the breakaway roping, Taylor Munsell’s horse came to a stop at a time of 2.65 to put her in first place of the second performance. Lari Dee Guy proved her winning reputation, finishing second with a time of 3.62. Coming in third was Kelsey Espensen, roping her calf in 3.64 seconds. The second night of tie down roping proved to have the fastest cowboy yet, Ty Harris, who topped the leaderboard of both performances with a 7.46. Landyn Duncan finishes second with an 8.03. In a tie for third and fourth place were Braden Harris and Monty Lewis, both tying their calves in 8.89 seconds. The men showed the women what they are made of in performance two of the barrel racing. Craig Brooks laid down the fastest time of the night with a 14.104. Michael Duffie turned the third and hustled home to stop the clock with a time of 14.163. Just three thousandths of a second behind him was Sydni Blanchard, running a 14.166 which was good for third place. The bull riding in performance two brought only one qualified ride, Sean Willingham, who rode CHECKMATE for the full eight seconds to bring a score of 77.50.

  • 2020 Rodeo Hall of Fame Weekend Postponed
    DRAFT September 17, 2020 Contact: Seth Spillman, Chief Marketing Officer [email protected] (Office) (405) 478-2250 ext. 269 2020 Rodeo Hall of Fame Weekend Postponed Rodeo Hall of Fame Class of 2020, along with 2020 Tad Lucas Memorial Award and Ben Johnson Memorial Award recipients, to be honored in 2021 OKLAHOMA CITY — In support of the nationwide effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and Rodeo Historical Society (RHS) will postpone the 2020 Rodeo Hall of Fame Weekend. Originally scheduled for November 13–14, 2020, a decision on when the event will be rescheduled in 2021 is still to be determined. Updates will be posted on the Museum and RHS website at nationalcowboymuseum.org/rhs. “We continue to be creative and flexible in how we approach events in 2020, but given the size and logistics of Rodeo Hall of Fame Weekend, we believe the best decision is to postpone until circumstances allow us to properly honor these very deserving inductees and award winners,” said Natalie Shirley, Museum president. The 2020 Rodeo Hall of Fame Weekend inductees were chosen via popular vote by RHS membership. Inductees in both the Living and Deceased categories, as well as the Tad Lucas Memorial Award and Ben Johnson Memorial Award recipients, includes: LIVING - Ricky Bolin - Bobby W. “Hooter” Brown - Richard Neale “Tuff” Hedeman - Cody Lambert - Jerome Robinson - Bobby and Sid Steiner (father and son) DECEASED - John (1887 – 1973) and Thomas (1915 – 1981) Rhodes (father and son) - Jim W. Snively (1911 – 1998) In addition, each year the family of trick-riding legend Tad Lucas bestows the Tad Lucas Memorial Award upon a living female whose actions promote the values represented by Tad Lucas, while the Ben Johnson Memorial Award winner is chosen by committee each year to honor a living individual who represents the Western lifestyle as exemplified by screen and rodeo legend Ben Johnson.

  • Rodeo Cowgirls : an Ambivalent Arena
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Audra Leah Oliver for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Museums Studies, History, and Anthropology presented on March 17, 1994. Title: Rodeo Cowgirls: An Ambivalent Arena Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Don E. Mcllvenna The term "cowboy" was closely bound to American image long before the 1990s. Rodeo claimed the image of the cowboy from the earliest contests to the latest and pledged itself to patriotism almost as early. This historical study was conducted viewing rodeo as a subculture and relating women's role in the sport in terms of both subculture and over-all American culture. Research substantiated that the cowboy remained linked to the image of America at the time the paper was researched and written. Rodeo attitudes toward cowgirls reflect the ambivalence that cowgirls and American women in general found themselves facing internally and externally.
