R.C Langingham Wins His First California Rodeo Salinas Gold Buckle

California’s very own R.C. Langingham earns his first Gold Buckle for The California Rodeo Salinas.

Langingham drew Bridwell Pro Rodeo’s Girl Crush in the Short-Go. Langingham has quite the history with Girl Crush as he won the Puyallup Rodeo on her in 2021.

“I was kinda nervous I’ve been on that one twice, the first time she kinda bout knocked me out, it wasn’t good and the second time I won Puyallup on her last year, so we were hoping for a trip like that,” Langingham said.

Langinham made the highest marked ride of Round 1 with an 86 on Four Star Rodeo’s Fringe From Hell and finished out the Short-Go with another 86-point ride to move to the lead with an aggregate score of 172 on two head.

The three-time NFR qualifier is currently sitting in the Top 10 for the World Standings.
