Parker, Texas, hosted their first rodeo in the PRCA and the Texas Circuit to close out May and kick off June 2024. Better known as Rodeo Celina, the rodeo was action-packed from May 31 through June 2. Three performances and a slack were featured throughout the weekend as far as PRCA events, but Rodeo Celina also had other action for their fans to enjoy as well.
Joining the fun at Rodeo Celina was the family favorite mutton bustin' and the ladies ranch bronc riding, something that is not really mainstream, yet.
Andrews Rodeo was the stock contractor and Dusty Myers and Liberty Cunningham served as the entertainment for the weekend.
Rodeo Celina is proud to be a part of the Texas Circuit to assist rodeo contestants in gaining their designated rodeo counts to be eligible to qualify for the Texas Circuit Finals. Cowboys and cowgirls have a minimum number of rodeos to attend to be eligible to compete at their circuit finals.
With over 100 rodeos across the state of Texas that represent the Texas Circuit, there are plenty of choices and opportunities to both win money and complete the contestants "rodeo count." Rodeo Celina looks to serve as another stop in the circuit.
The final payout for the rodeo offered contestants $81,226 for this year and given the talent that showed up, this number is sure to grow.
The saying is something like, "The show must go on!" Rodeo Celina proved this. Even though there was a fair share of mud accompanying the contestants for the weekend, there was no shortage of cowboys and cowgirls, including some big names in the industry who certainly made their mark as well.
Bradlee Miller from Huntsville, Texas, is making his first bid for the Wrangler National Finals and is currently sitting at No. 11 in the World Standings. His win in Parker, Texas, atop Andrews Pro Rodeo's American Hat Tri and check of $1,898 will certainly help his efforts to remain amongst the top 15.
Cash Robb, the 20-year-old steer wrestler from Altamont, Utah, is just outside the top 15, ranked at No.18 right now. With runs of 3.8 seconds and checks totaling $2,032, he will be inching his way up the standings.
A familiar face to the winner's circle and the NFR, tie-down roper John Douch took the win in the calf, roping with a 7.6-second run. His effort paid off big with a $2,573 paycheck. Douch is ranked No. 4 in the World Standings currently with $67,418 earned. He is well on his way to his fourth trip to Las Vegas in December.
