RESISTOL ROOKIES OF THE YEAR

After rodeoing on their permit and earning more than $1,000 in PRCA rodeos, rodeo athletes compete the following year as a “rookie.” This is considered their first official year as a professional rodeo athlete, as they are now an official PRCA Contestant Card holder. 2024 was a year to remember for rookies in PRORODEO. For the first time in rookie history, the All Around Rookie title was in contention during the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Wacey Schalla from Arapaho, Okla., Cooper James from Erda, Utah, and

Cole Clemons from Okeechobee, Fla. competed for the world title at the same time as the all-around rookie title. Each cowboy had combined earnings from two PRCA events. 2024 PRCA ALL-AROUND AND BULL RIDING RESISTOL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR NAME: Cooper James HOMETOWN: Erda, Utah
