BY TRACY RENCK B ull rider Josh Frost made his Wrangler National Finals Rodeo debut in 2019. The Randlett, Utah, cowboy seems primed for a return trip in 2021. Frost had climbed to the top of the world standings after winning the Sandhills Stock Show & Rodeo in Odessa, Texas, Jan. 16. The win in Rapid City was another early boost. “When it comes down to it, it’s still just bull riding, and I’ve always done well at the Division 1 Xtreme Bulls, but this is actually the first Division 2 event I’ve won,” Frost said. “It was pretty cool to win here. They’re all tough bull ridings.

Frost was sitting atop the PRCA | RAMWorld Standings heading into the Rodeo Rapid City (S.D.) PRCA Xtreme Bulls Division 2 event Jan. 29. He remained in that top spot after winning the Xtreme Bulls event with a 91.5-point ride on Dakota Rodeo’s D-Day. “I knew I had a good bull, and he had a really good day,” said Frost, 25. “It kind of felt a little wild for the first and second jumps, and I just kept going at him and came out with a good score.” Frost earned $4,004 for his eight seconds of work, giving him $16,811 on the season. He edged Ky Hamilton, who finished second with a 90.5-point trip on New Frontier’s Muley Madness. Reigning all-around and bull riding world champion StetsonWright finished third with an 89-point ride on Dakota Rodeo’s Dr Campbell.

There were 40 guys and $10,000 added, and you have to have your day and draw the best bull, and that’s what happened today. I was grateful to draw a good bull like that and capitalize on it.” Frost finished 18th in the 2020 world standings with $46,572. He made a late charge to try and qualify for the 2020 NFR by capturing the title at the Xtreme Bulls Tour Finale in Nephi, Utah, Sept. 19 and earning $13,113. It wasn’t enough to make the NFR. “The year has been going good,” Frost said. “I came up just short of making the NFR last year, but I was riding good at the end of the season and I’ve kept the ball rolling into this year.”
