In its first year as a ProRodeo Tour event, the Arcadia All-Florida Championship Rodeo drew some of the sport’s biggest names and paid out almost $75,000 more than it did a year ago.
Some of the champions at the Sunshine State event included Tuf Cooper and Clayton Biglow, both of whom have Gold Buckles, as well as Wyatt Casper, who was last year’s Reserve World Champion.
Not to be outdone by the superstars, some young steer wrestlers, tie-down ropers and team ropers found themselves at or near the top of leaderboards that were stuffed to the brim with Wrangler NFR qualifiers.
