Meet the Member Willie Dynes

story by Lily Weinacht Willie Dynes is the 2018 GCPRA Bull Riding Champion. The 23-year-old from Sonoita, Arizona, went into his second GCPRA finals leading the bull riding, but kept his competitive edge just as sharp. “When I show up, I have one job; I try to stay on and the rest will take care of itself,” says Willie, who is now the 2019 GCPRA Bull Riding Director. He knows his way around a rope…

Meet the Member Kelton Little

story by Lily Weinacht Kelton Little is the third generation of her family to travel the rodeo trail. Her grandpa especially has a longstanding history with the sport, including winning multiple titles in the PRCA Turquoise Circuit, while 19-year-old Kelton competes in the GCPRA and is a sophomore on the New Mexico State University rodeo team. “I was on a horse when I was about 4, riding around with my grandpa. I’ve never gone a…

Meet the Member Baylee Johnston

story by Lily Weinacht Breakaway roper and barrel racer Baylee Johnston is the 2018 GCPRA Women’s All-Around Champion, a title she never expected to attain during her first full-time competition in the association. “I didn’t really know I was in the running for the all around. I knew I was up there in the standings, but I only qualified for the finals in one event,” says the 20-year-old from Prescott, Arizona. “Other girls ahead of…

Meet the Member Cody Shurtz

story by Lily Weinacht Cody Shurtz of Vail, Arizona, won the GCPRA’s 6-Pack Series in the open tie-down roping this season, sending the cowboy home with enough winnings to put him 12th in the overall standings and on his way to the GCPRA finals. The 28-year-old last competed in the finals in 2015, the year he won the year-end and average titles in the incentive tie-down roping. “I had the best weekend of my life…

Meet the Member Robertson Family

story by Lily Weinacht Rodeo has taken the Robertson family to the far reaches of their home state of Arizona, and this summer, they ventured into another hemisphere, rodeoing for three weeks in Queensland, Australia. Tim and Kelly Robertson and their sons, Trey (20) and Trevor (16), traveled to Australia with their longtime friend and fellow GCPRA competitor, Dean McIntyre, and his family. Tim and Trey, both steer wrestlers, entered rodeos every weekend, while Trey…

Meet the Member Cindy Woods

story by Lily Weinacht Cindy Woods and her family purchased a house in Montana in the 1990s, and when a barrel horse came along with the contract, it gave Cindy her first opportunity to pro rodeo. “This horse ran 16.8s on a standard pattern once I got him to turn the first barrel, when no one ran 16.8s on a standard pattern,” recalls Cindy, 55, who now divides her time between her homes in Molalla,…

Meet the Member Devon Burris

story by Lily Weinacht Devon Burris entered his first GCPRA rodeo eight years ago on Labor Day weekend, backing into the box to team rope with his dad. Today, the 24-year-old from Queen Creek, Arizona, is sitting second in the GCPRA tie-down roping standings, and continues to enter the team roping and steer wrestling. “I grew up wearing boots and shorts and a hat—I wanted to be a cowboy. Both my grandparents have a ranch,…

Meet the Member Wyatt Austin

story by Lily Weinacht Wyatt Austin from Queen Creek, Arizona, entered the rodeo world by way of the roping box but found his home in the roughstock chutes. The 18-year-old bull rider is the second generation of his family to rodeo, following after his dad, who competed in all three roughstock events. Wyatt entered his first junior rodeo in the breakaway roping when he was 9 and rode his first steer three years later. While…

Meet the Member Cutter Parsons

story by Lily Weinacht Cutter Parsons has been a member of the GCPRA for nearly 20 years, joining the association as a teenager. Now 35, the tie-down roper and steer wrestler from Marana, Arizona, always looks forward to competing in the Tucson Rodeo, and the Sonoita Labor Day Rodeo, which marks its 102nd rodeo this September. “The Grand Canyon has always had a good group of people that work very hard to put on great…

Meet the Member Molly & Adam Hamilton

story by Lily Weinacht “Rodeo is a lifestyle we absolutely love and where all our free time is spent. Even in the off season, we’re riding young horses and training them,” says Molly Hamilton. She and her husband, Adam, are both ropers—Molly breakaway roping and Adam tie-down roping—and they are equally interested in making their rodeo horses as competing on them. “We started a few outside horses, and then decided I would go back to…

Meet the Member Colter Sellers

story by Lily Weinacht “I just like to see myself get better and compete at the pro level with everyone else,” says Colter Sellers, a tie-down roper in the GCPRA and PRCA Turquoise Circuit, and co-founder of Tuf Kaf Roping Dummies. “There’s no way I wouldn’t ever do rodeo.” Colter, 24, lives in Casa Grande, Arizona, but grew up in Buffalo, Wyoming, rodeoing with his younger brother, Casey, after they saw the sport on TV.…

Meet the Member Kelli Kamm

story by Lily Weinacht Arizona is the latest home of barrel racer Kelli Kamm, and The Grand Canyon State is giving her rodeo career and horse breeding business a new climate—and new possibilities. Born and raised in Idaho, Kelli moved to Oregon with her family in high school and stayed for the next 30-some years, marrying her sweetheart from junior rodeos, Brett, 25 years ago. “We have nice horses and a Judge Cash stud, and…
