SAN ANGELO, Texas – The third time was the charm for saddle bronc rider Wade Sundell as he won the San Angelo (Texas) Rodeo for the third time Feb. 16 with 175 points on two head.
Sundell won San Angelo for the first time in 2012 with 174 points on two head. His second San Angelo win came in 2015 with 177 points on two head, thanks in part to nailing a 91-point ride on Pete Carr Pro Rodeo’s Manhattan Moon.
“I love coming here because I’ve always had good success here and there’s a lot of electricity in that building,” Sundell said. “I love it – I’m going to keep putting my name in the hat here.”
Consistency was the secret to success for Sundell as he won the first round with an 88.5-point ride on Powder River Rodeo’s Morning Tea.
“I was just letting it hang out and was firing away and having some fun,” Sundell said. “It was one you needed in a long round to get a good score for some leeway.”
The 33-year-old cowboy went on to place second in the finals with an 86.5-point ride, which placed him 3.5 points ahead of Clay Elliott and Ryder Wright.
“The second one was a good, solid one that a guy needs to show off a bit and have lots of fun,” Sundell said. “Honestly, I feel better and stronger than I have in a long time. I don’t know what it is, but I feel like a young kid again. It’s always good to be around them (the younger competition) because you feel like you’re a young kid again with them.”
All told, Sundell’s efforts at San Angelo were worth $8,182.
“It’s outstanding to get a bunch of money won in the wintertime,” Sundell said. “If you can do that, it’s always going to be a good deal for you.”
Sundell’s youngest and biggest fan was in the stands – his 3-month-old son, Rankan.
“Shoot, I’m probably going to be buying some diapers,” Sundell laughed. “It’s ridiculous how many diapers you go through.”
Up next, Sundell is heading back to the San Antonio (Texas) Stock Show & Rodeo, where he won the first, second and third rounds in Bracket 3 for $7,134. Between his progress at these two iconic Texas rodeos so far, Sundell’s earned a grand total of $15,316.
Counting his most-recent earnings, Sundell was already sitting at fifth in the 2018 PRCA World Standings with $22,776, as he seeks an eighth qualification for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Sundell competed at the WNFR every year from 2009-15.
“I’ll just keep entering up and keep rocking and rolling and let them all fall into place,” Sundell said.
Other winners at the $452,991 rodeo were bareback rider Logan Corbett (176 points on two head); steer wrestler Jacob Talley (11.5 seconds on three head); team ropers Clay Smith/Paul Eaves (14.1 seconds on three head); tie-down roper Blane Cox (23.7 seconds on three head); barrel racer Amberleigh Moore (44.15 seconds on three head); and bull rider Trey Benton III (180.5 points on two head).
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Tie-down roper Cory Solomon has had a strong winter, and he kept that going with a win at the 140th Silver Spurs Rodeo in Kissimmee, Fla., Sunday.
Solomon is hoping that trend continues in the middle of what has been an extremely busy winter for the 28-year-old Texas cowboy.
Solomon competed in Okeechobee, Fla., Feb. 15 before clocking a time of 7.5 seconds the next day in Kissimmee.
Solomon kept tabs on the results from Kissimmee every day, hoping to see his time stand up. It definitely did, but not by much. He held off Jason Hanchey by a tenth of a second and three others by three-tenths.
“Guys made some good runs,” Solomon said Feb. 18 from his home. “… So, the perfs looked like they were pretty tough there. I’m just thankful to get the win. Every check counts this early.”
Less than two hours after his winning run in Kissimmee, Solomon was on a plane bound for Texas to rope again Feb. 16 at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.
Solomon was riding Ragin Cajun at Kissimmee. Ragin did his job well, which helped Solomon overcome a slight slip.
“He was really good at Kissimmee,” Solomon said. “He got a good start. I actually roped and lost my right stirrup. I jumped off, it wasn’t a smooth get-off. I just made it work when I jumped off. … The best thing about him (Ragin), once your hand touches the calf, he won’t make a mistake.”
Entering Kissimmee, Solomon was sitting seventh in the PRCA World Standings. He moved up one spot after earning $2,375. He also placed second in the first round at San Antonio, then won his next two rounds and was in the semifinals there Feb. 20. That’s another $6,500 before the rodeo has finished. He also won $5,296 in Fort Worth, Texas, and $6,403 in Waco, Texas earlier this season.
All of that comes on the heels of winning $117,250 at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo on his preferred horse, Dough Boy, in December, when he placed third in the average to help him finish seventh in the 2017 world standings.
Last season, Solomon had to go hard in September to qualify for the WNFR. This season, he’s made it a point to go hard in the winter to make sure he isn’t under a time crunch come fall.
“To win Kissimmee, it gives me more momentum to go back to San Antonio,” said Solomon, who will be back on Dough Boy in San Antonio. “All these wins just keep your confidence going and keep you on a roll.”
Other winners at the $132,365 rodeo were all-around cowboy Bart Brunson ($3,478 in tie-down roping and team roping); bareback rider Evan Jayne (83 points on Silver Spurs Club’s Patty); steer wrestler Denell Henderson (3.7 seconds); team ropers Ross Lowry/Stephen Britnell (4.6 seconds); saddle bronc rider Chuck Schmidt (84.5 points on Silver Spurs Club’s Best Hope); barrel racer Amie Tyre (15.6 seconds); and bull rider Dylan Hice Vick (84 points on Silver Spurs Club’s Stinky).
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Claiming PRCA honors is nothing new to tie-down roper Caleb Smidt.
The Bellville, Texas, cowboy was the 2015 tie-down roping world champion.
Now, the talented roper can add a Dixie National Rodeo victory to his career accomplishments.
Smidt, a four-time qualifier for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, won with a 15.8-second time in the two-head average at the Dixie National Rodeo, which concluded Feb. 14.
“I’ve only been to that rodeo one other time in 2015 and I didn’t do any good,” said Smidt, 28. “This is really good because I had zero dollars won when I showed up to Jackson. This is a big rodeo. They had 131 guys competing in tie-down roping, and I was really happy to win it.”
Smidt made his runs in Jackson on Feb. 7 and 9 and earned $9,402 for placing second in the first round (7.8 seconds) and fourth in the second round (8.0 seconds) and capturing the average at the Mississippi Coliseum. Smidt is 18th in the Feb. 20 PRCA World Standings with $10,674.
“I rode a new horse, El Gato, that belongs to Bart Hutton from Boerne, Texas,” Smidt said. “I rode him a little bit last fall. I like him, and I plan on riding him quite a bit this year. He’s getting better and better, and he was awesome over there (in Jackson). I ran two really good calves and I was able to get the win with him.”
In addition to El Gato, Smidt still will be competing on his main horse, Pockets. He rode Pockets the last three years and won his world title aboard the horse. Smidt qualified for the WNFR in 2013 and 2015-17. Last year, he finished fifth in the world standings with $209,098 and split the Round 8 win in Las Vegas with Cory Solomon.
“I went to Fort Worth (Texas) and San Angelo (Texas) and didn’t have any luck, and it was getting about time where I needed to win something just to get some money on the board,” Smidt said. “This is probably the slowest start I have ever had, so it was nice to win something and get the monkey off my back. Now, I’m ready to go rope and try and win some more.”
Smidt competed at the lucrative San Antonio (Texas) Stock Show & Rodeo, where he placed fourth in the third round of Bracket 4.
“For right now, I’m just going to focus on (tie-down roping) and the end goal is the world championship,” said Smidt, who has been in contention for the all-around world championship the last several years because he also has competed as a team roping header.
Other winners at the $232,585 rodeo were all-around cowboy Shane Proctor ($1,461 in saddle bronc riding and bull riding), bareback rider Austin Foss (89 points on Korkow Rodeos’ Onion Ring), steer wrestler Cody Sullivan (8.7 seconds on two head), team ropers Tyler Wade/Trey Yates (11.4 seconds on two head), saddle bronc riders Isaac Diaz (84 points on Stace Smith Pro Rodeos’ Cow Camp) and Rusty Wright (84 points on Korkow Rodeos’ Dirty Little Secret), barrel racer Brittany Pozzi Tonozzi (15.02 seconds) and bull rider Dustin Boquet (86.5 points on Stace Smith Pro Rodeos’ Hacksaw Ridge).

The San Angelo Rodeo took place Feb. 2-4 & 14-16.Mayer began his involvement with the San Angelo rodeo in 1974. His charge was to organize the arena, the bucking chutes, the gates for timed events, the grandstand for rodeo officials, and most of all, the dirt. “This dirt is sacred for Mr. Mayer,” said rodeo announcer Boyd Polhamus Feb. 16.Every year, two weeks before the rodeo start date, tons and tons of dirt is trucked in and laid on the arena floor. The task of provisioning the dirt has become an annual tradition in San Angelo. Today’s rodeo is more sophisticated than it was in 1974, and Mayer has kept the arena up with the times, working out details with city of San Angelo officials over the years … On Feb. 18, the Chicks N Chaps organization held its 5th Annual Women’s Rodeo Clinic in Tucson, Ariz., during La Fiesta de los Vaqueros.

Richter also was a tireless volunteer for the Fort Worth (Texas) Stock Show & Rodeo where he served on the board of directors and executive committee. He was instrumental in starting the Stock Show’s Calf Scramble that his son, Martin, now co-chairs. Better known as “Marty,” he was born Aug. 4, 1953, in Fort Worth. A cowboy and horseman from the beginning, Richter spent childhood summers with his uncle S.L. starting racehorses and later working as an order buyer at cattle auctions across Texas. During his rodeo career, Richter enjoyed working for his lifelong friend Billy Minick and his rodeo stock contracting company. In 1978, Richter retired from professional rodeo when he married Mary Martha Edwards. He was a proud father to his three children Mary Margaret, Meredith and Martin. In lieu of flowers, consideration of contributions to the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo Calf Scramble Scholarship Fund or the Windy Ryan Memorial Roping Scholarship Fund, in his memory, is suggested.
