PHOTOGRAPHER: Clay Guardipee. 2024: CASPER REPEATS XTREME BRONCS FINALS SUCCESS By Tanner Barth • Winning at the highest level is never easy, repeating that success becomes even more difficult. • There’s a reason it’s a feat that is rarely achieved, but don’t tell Miami, Texas, saddle bronc rider Wyatt Casper that. He put his championship pedigree on full display in Rapid City, S.D., walking away with the coveted PRCA Xtreme Broncs Finals championship for the second straight season. • Casper was a model of consistency in front of the sold-out crowd, besting the field of 24 contestants, in the average race with 174 points on two head. His 16 seconds of work in South Dakota put $33,044 in his pocket, which marked the most money ever won at a PRCA Xtreme Broncs event. He earned $30,838 in Rapid City with his victory last season. The most recent payday has moved him into the top three in the PRCA | RAM World Standings with $194,490. • “I love Rapid City now,” laughed Casper, a four-time NFR qualifier. “I never dreamt of probably even winning this deal one time, so to win it twice is a dream come true for sure. • “My goal every year is to go to the NFR in the top 5. This will dang sure help get me up there where I want to be, and it’ll make the rest of the year a little easier. Now, I’m going to focus on staying healthy and hopefully we will win some more big checks in September.” 2024 XTREME BRONCS FINALS, RAPID CITY, S.D., AUG. 18 SADDLE BRONC RIDING: FIRST ROUND: 1.
