EDITOR’S LETTER TRACY RENCK

Rodeo, not breakdancing, deserves to be an Olympic sport

E xcuse me for being late to the game, but back in October it was announced that breaking – breakdancing – was chosen to be featured on the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic program as a new sport, along with surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing. Surfing in the Olympics is not a stretch. Skateboarding look no further than the massively popular X Games. Sport climbing is an iffy choice to say the least. But breakdancing? Come on! I have no problem with dancers. They are fit, athletic and they put in the work to be the best at their craft. However, they should not be Olympic competitors. Back in 1985, Alfonso Ribeiro, aka Carlton Banks on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, did an advertisement for his breakdancing kit “Breakin’ and Poppin’.” No offense to Ribeiro, he may be a decent actor, a solid break dancer, but an Olympian – no way. More to the point when I was in middle school there was a group of boys – none who would ever be confused for Olympians – who were part of Freed Middle School’s “Ground Control” breakdancing group. There’s no question the Olympics have had some odd sports be part of the games like pigeon shooting, pistol duelling and walking. It begs the question, though, ‘Why not bring back rodeo to the Olympics?’ This isn’t a far-fetched concept. Rodeo played to sold out crowds at the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary, Alberta. “Competing at the Olympics in 1988 was one of the neatest

experiences of my career,” said the late Lewis Feild, a ProRodeo Hall of Famer. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Individually, Feild won two medals at the Calgary Olympic Rodeo – winning a silver medal in saddle bronc riding, a bronze medal in bareback riding. The USA Rodeo team also won the gold medal over Canada. Fast-forward to 2002, and 70 of the best rodeo cowboys and cowgirls from the United States and Canada competed at the 2002Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was dubbed the United States vs. Canada in seven rodeo events, bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, calf roping, barrel racing and bull riding. TeamUSA beat TeamCanada 1,363 points to 737 in the 2002 Olympic Command Performance Rodeo. Gold medal winners for the United States were bareback rider Lan LaJeunesse, steer wrestler Rope Myers, calf roper Jerome Schneeberger, barrel racer Molly Powell, and bull rider Blue Stone. In 1988 and 2002, rodeo basked in the glow of the Olympic Spirit. Give the sport – which is now better than ever with

superstars like StetsonWright, Caleb Smidt and Tyler Waguespack – another chance to go on display and be celebrated at the Olympics. Rodeo could be in the Winter Olympics again or the Summer Olympics. It doesn’t matter. The sport of rodeo deserves to be in the Olympics – especially more than breakdancing.

COWBOY GRILLE WITH TANNER BARTH

Chet Weitz, 21, is making waves during his rookie season in ProRodeo. The London, Texas, all-around cowboy, kicked off the year by winning the year end tie-down roping title in the Texas Circuit to punch his ticket to the NFR Open powered by RAM in July. In the latest PRCA | RAM World Standings, Weitz sits 11th in tie-down roping and 14th in the team roping as he looks to become the first rookie to ever qualify for the NFR in two events.

How’d you get your start in rodeo? Chet: My mom rodeoed and then my dad started to rodeo when he met my mom. He also ranched, so I was around it all the time. I just always grew up with a rope in my hand. I guess you could say my family is how I got my start in rodeo. When did you know you could make a career out of the sport of rodeo? Chet: Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to rodeo. I actually went out to Vegas when I was 3 years old and won a saddle out there at the dummy roping they had. I think from that point on I knew it was something I wanted to do. Why did you decide to do multiple events in ProRodeo? Chet: I’ve always really enjoyed (tie-down) roping and team roping. I’ve been pretty decent at both throughout my life. Honestly, I really couldn’t decide on one event or the other. One of my goals this year is to be the first rookie to make it in both events. That’s one reason I’m pursuing both so hard. Who’s someone you look up to in the sport of rodeo?

CHET WEITZ

Chet: I really look up to a group of guys. Some of them I look up to because they rope good, but more importantly I look up to a guy like Trevor Brazile because of the way he holds himself in and out of the arena. What’s one rodeo you want to win before your career is over? Chet: It has always been a goal of mine to win RodeoHouston. I’ve never been to Pendleton (Ore.) but that would be a really fun one to win as well. The buckles they give to the winners are amazing, it looks like an awesome rodeo. What have you learned during your rookie season? Chet: I think one big thing that I’ve learned so far is that every rodeo counts. Needless to say, I’ve never had a rodeo count in the past. I’ve learned that every calf and steer that I run is important. Even if it’s a smaller rodeo, it can make a difference. Why did you decide to buy your PRCA card at this point in your career? Chet: All the young kids always buy their PRCA cards at 18. I really wanted to finish college before I bought my PRCA card, that way I knew I was fully committed to going all year. This is my last semester at Texas Tech, and I really wanted to be fully committed. It allowed me to mature with my roping. What’s your favorite restaurant? Chet: I like any good steakhouse, but if I had to choose just one it would probably be Del Frisco’s in Fort Worth. We always love going to that place. Do you have a favorite sports team? Chet: I should probably say Texas Tech, since I go to school there. Do you have a favorite candy? Chet: I try not to eat much candy, but I’d probably have to go with a Snickers. What was the make and model of your first vehicle? Chet: I actually bought it on my own, it was a 1986 four speed Chevy. I thought I was pretty hot stuff driving that thing at 15 years old. What’s your favorite TV show or series? Chet: I started Peaky Blinders the other day and that’s a pretty good show. What’s your favorite holiday? Chet: My favorite holiday would probably have to be Christmas. It’s a celebration of Jesus, where you get to spend time with friends and family. What type of music do you like listening to? Chet: I listen to all sorts of stuff. If I had to narrow it down, I would probably say rap and country are my go-to. What do you enjoy doing in your downtime from rodeo? Chet: I really like to play golf and tennis. I played tennis in high school and actually won state all four years. I also like to hunt and fish when I can.

Rollo named PRCA | AQHA Horse of the Year Jordon Briggs and Famous Lil Jet “Rollo” have taken the ProRodeo world by storm the past two seasons. Rollo was named the Nutrena Barrel Racing Horse of the Year presented by AQHA in both 2021 and 2022. Now in 2023, the dominant duo can add another impressive title to their resume. “There were definitely some other horses of the year that did have great NFRs. So, I just appreciate so much that people saw how hard he still tried and that he’s still an amazing horse no matter what.

“He has done amazing things the last three years that I didn’t even think were possible to accomplish in that short amount of time. For him to be the soul income of my family right now and to just enjoy that process while we can has been a huge blessing.” Briggs and Rollo will hit the rodeo road again this winter with their sights set on their third consecutive trip to Las Vegas next December. “He’s only nine years old, so he still has a lot of his career ahead of him hopefully,” she said. “We are just getting ready for the winter rodeos and hoping we can do good at those. So, that we can have an easy year and I can take care of Rollo the way he deserves to be taken care of.”

After a vote by fans, Rollo was named the overall winner for PRCA | AQHA Horse of the Year. The voting included all seven of the 2022 Horse of the Year winners by event. Riding Rollo, Briggs captured the 2021 PRCA World Championship. Over the past two seasons she earned $571,980 aboard the nine-year-old horse. Briggs said she never imagined Rollo would be able to accomplish what he has in his short career. “It’s truly an honor, especially given that we didn’t have the Finals we exactly hoped for,” said Briggs, a three-time NFR qualifier.

Taking a Break Rodeo-theme mural upcoming for 100th anniversary of Ellensburg Rodeo

The Ellensburg (Wash.) City Council recently unanimously approved the creation of a rodeo themed mural to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Ellensburg Rodeo. “The (Ellensburg) rodeo has been the major event for the community since 1923,” Ellensburg Mayor Nancy Lillquist said. “It is the event that puts us on the national stage once a year. So, it is very important for the community.” The mural will go on the west-facing section Craig’s Hill Reservoir water tower and will have approximate dimensions of 40 feet by 40 feet. It will overlook the Kittitas Valley Event Center Arena. According to Lillquist, the mural will be framed “just above the grandstands” so as to be visible by the “majority” of visitors watching the rodeo. The city’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee voted unanimously Dec. 13 to recommend the City Council approve $25,000 from the city’s Lodging Tax Fund for the mural. The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee oversees the tax revenue from the city’s hotel and motels.

According to city of Ellensburg Public Information Officer Nicole Klauss, the $25,000 mural price tag was determined by city staff after consulting with a local mural artist and sign company. Currently, the mural is expected to last five years and will be “a short-term piece in honor of the rodeo’s 100-year anniversary,” according to Klauss. According to Lillquist, the city’s Public Works and Utilities Department will be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the mural over that five year period. The upkeep costs of the mural will be included in the Craig’s Hill Reservoir water tower budget. “We’re guaranteeing a five-year minimum,” said Lillquist. “But we need to still develop that plan for protection and maintenance.” The city of Ellensburg will prioritize local and regional artists for the creation of the rodeo-themed mural. The mural is to be completed by July 31. The Ellensburg Rodeo will take place Labor Day weekend, Sept. 1-4.

Roping Rookie of the Year. Webb also qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Teton Ridge, finishing 10th in the PRCA | RAM World Standings with $188,597. Well, Webb is on a gold buckle mission in 2023 and he took a small step toward reaching that ultimate goal by winning the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver on Jan. 22. Webb, the first cowboy out in the 12-man finals, clocked a blistering 7.2-second time to capture the victory at the Denver Coliseum. “I knew I had 11 guys after me and it was a sudden-death on one head, so you have to go as fast as you can and hopefully it sticks and it did for me,” saidWebb, 19. “I had a really good calf and you just let your hair hang down and let it all happen and it worked out for me.” Webb was making his second career appearance in Denver and left town after earning $6,937. “It was great to get a win like this in Denver,” Webb said. “In my set, I split or won first every time I ran one in Denver, which was huge.” Webb was riding Boots, 13. “I just bought Boots right after the NFR (In December), from calf roper Ryan Belew,” Webb said. “I took him to Lafayette (La.) and Denver, and I won both so he’s doing pretty good.” Webb said he plans to ride Boots and Titus, a horse he bought in the spring of 2020, during the 2023 campaign. “I learned a lot last year,” Webb said. “My goal last year was just to make the NFR and this year my goal is to be No. 1. I don’t think I had my goals set high enough last year. This year I’m off to good start and I’m looking forward to the rest of the winter run and the rest of the year. I had $20,000 when I got to Reno (Nev.) in June last year and I already have $19,000 won after Denver. That’s huge. It gives me a lot of confidence and I want to keep the hammer down and keep going at them.” In 2022, at the NFR in Las Vegas, Webb placed in five rounds and earned $71,092.

NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW & RODEO

Burnell turns heads with win Ric Andersen photo Bryce Burnell, 29, grabbed the biggest win of his career in Denver with a 91-point ride on Cervi Championship Rodeo’s White Trash.

Bryce Burnell has paid his dues on the ProRodeo trail without much reward – until Jan. 22. The 29-year-old snared top honors at the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo in Denver with a 91-point ride on Cervi Championship Rodeo’s White Trash in the finals. Burnell earned a career-rodeo best $7,024 and was thrilled with how things unfolded. “It was just grit and try, (I) never quit,” Burnell said about his victorious ride at the Denver Coliseum. “I won the (National High School Finals Rodeo in 2013) when I was a senior. That was a pretty incredible win. But, to win this ProRodeo in Denver is definitely something to be proud of.” The Sheridan, Wyo., cowboy talked a little about his journey, which led him to celebrating a win in the Mile High City. “I have been in ProRodeo for quite a while,” Burnell said. “I just had

a few years where I went through a rough patch or two with some injuries and other things I fought through. I didn’t rodeo a whole lot and then I got healthy, and I came back.” In Denver, Burnell had an 80.5-point ride on Cervi Championship Rodeo’s Storman Norman. He followed that up with an 88-point trip on Cervi Championship Rodeo’s Legal Action to advance out of the semis, setting the stage for his eight seconds of glory in the finals. Burnell’s win was quite the feat as he bested reigning PRCA Bull Riding World Champion StetsonWright, who had a 90.5-point ride on Cervi Championship Rodeo’s Centerfold in the finals. “I’m just going to take it one bull at a time, and keep trying on every one of them,” Burnell said about his plan moving forward. “This is incredible getting this buckle in Denver and I will enjoy it a lot that is for sure.”

BY TANNER BARTH & TRACY RENCK DENVER Jace Melvin kicks off 2023 with victory

Jace Melvin has competed in the ProRodeo ranks for nearly a decade and arguably his biggest win didn’t come until well over 700 runs into his career. In front of a sold-out crowd at the Denver Coliseum on Championship Sunday, the Fort Pierre, S.D., steer wrestler, made the most of the opportunity in front of him. Jaret Whitman and Curtis Cassidy were tied for the lead with a pair of 4.6-second runs with two cowboys left to go. That set the stage for Melvin to lay down a 4.2-second run and capture his first National Western Stock Show and Rodeo title. He said coming into the finals he knew it wouldn’t be easy but had to focus on the task at hand. “Everybody that made the short round here today can bulldog and is riding good horses,” said Melvin, a 2020Wrangler NFR qualifier. “Everybody made good runs, there was a couple hiccups here and there. I had a good steer drawn and I just tried to do the best I could. My hazers Tucker Allen, Tanner Milan, and Gavin Soileau were great.”

Over the course of four runs, Melvin earned $5,076 in the Mile High City. The payday moved him up 15th in the latest PRCA | RAMWorld Standings. He sees this as a win that can get his 2023 season pointed in the right direction headed into the key stretch of winter rodeos. “This really is awesome. You enter the winter rodeos and you’re just wanting to do the best you can,” Melvin said. “You want to draw good, bulldog good, and build momentum for the summer. So, to have a little luck right off the bat is really a huge blessing.” And he’s ready to see what the rest of the year has in store with his horse Utah underneath him. “That’s a horse owned by my good friend Jake Ashworth,” he said. “We partnered on her and man she’s just a phenomenal horse. This was kind of her debut really. She’s working phenomenal, I’m ready to see what she can do for me going forward.”
