Later in the summer, he would win the Missoula Stampede Xtreme Bulls with 89.5 points and the Omak Stampede with 86.5 points. In Ellensburg, Young won over $4,000 between the rodeo and the Xtreme Bulls. It was at the Tri-State Rodeo when he won over $15,000 that held Young’s spot in top 5 and then his success at California Rodeo Salinas that sent him to the NFR behind only three of the best bull riders today.
