The race for the coveted title of Resitol Rookie of the Year is on, and these rookies are bringing their A-game this year.
Arguably, one of the most coveted titles for a young rodeo athlete is the Resitol Rookie of the Year. This title is earned during a contestant's first year competing in PRCA rodeos, commonly referred to as their rookie year. Unlike other rodeo awards, such as championship titles, athletes have only a single opportunity in their career to secure the Rookie of the Year title.
Growing up, every rodeo kid dreams of buying their ProRodeo card when they turn 18. Competing against the big names, every contestant hopes to see their name on the top of the leaderboard. However, the rookie race is always tight and competitive. In 2023, we saw a new rookie story unfold with Keenan Hayes. Putting his name in the record books, the bareback rider from Hayden, Colo., not only won the Bareback Rider Rookie of the Year title but also was the 2023 World Champion Bareback Rider.It is not an easy feat for anyone, let alone a rookie, to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo ; however, we see many talented kids do just that.
In 2023, bull rider T Parker won the Resistol Rookie Roundup right before qualifying for his first NFR. Money won at the Roundup does count towards that rookie race and the coveted title of Rookie of the Year, but not towards the PRCA World Standings.. The top 15 rookies this year will ride and rope for a chance at a piece of the $100,000 prize. The Cowboy Channel is covering the event to bring the action right to you.
These contestants not only get a chance to compete at the rodeo but also to attend media and sponsor training, interviews, and more, where they will get to learn from veteran professional cowboys and cowgirls.Take a look at the top athletes on the leaderboard in the rookie race. Many of these rookies are making ground in the World Standings as well, hoping to qualify for their first NFR.Weston Timberman, 19, from Columbus, Mont., is currently in the lead of the Bareback Riding Rookie Standings.
