Creek Young, a four time National Finals Rodeo qualifier, is entering the 2026 season with renewed confidence and momentum. After breaking his leg late in the 2024 season and missing the NFR, followed by additional injuries that made 2025 a challenging year, Young says he finally feels fully healthy again. Now he’s focused and motivated as he looks ahead to what he hopes will be a breakout season.
Young’s early success at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo this year has reinforced that optimism. He won both rounds in Bracket 7 and advanced to the semifinals to compete on February 6, putting himself in position for a return to the finals. With his health back and his riding sharp, Young’s goal is clear, make it back to the NFR and win a gold buckle in the process.
