SADDLE BRONC RIDER COLEMAN SHALLBETTER “I think it’s really awesome to see how many really good friends you come out of rodeo with. There’s a lot of sports that people are up against each other. But we’re all friends and we’ll give the shirt off our back to the next guys.”

BAREBACK RIDER TUCKER CARRICATO “Winning all-around in Chey enne was pretty fun, and I tied it with Richie Champion and Orin Larsen. It was just great to be riding with those guys that I’ve looked up to my whole life, and now I’m here riding with them. So, Cheyenne’s probably one of the biggest ones yet.”

“I’d say right here, competing at the Resistol Rookie Roundup has been my favorite memory. I mean, I like this town, I like this place, I like this coliseum. It’s super cool, and the environ ment’s really neat. And I really can’t ask for a better turnout than tonight and a lifetime memory from this experience.”
