GUYMON, Okla. – Josh Peek took a bad situation on Sunday and made it considerably better, and that paid off with the all-around championship at the Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo.

“They hadn’t done much on my bulldogging steer, and I just went out and made the best run I could,” said Peek, a six-time Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifier from Pueblo, Colo. “That happens in rodeo.”

He made up for it tie-down roping, roping and tying his calf in 8.5 seconds. He finished in a tie for fourth place in the third round and finished second in the average with a three-run cumulative time of 25.6 seconds. He earned nearly $3,600 on Sunday alone.

That pushed his week-long earnings in the Oklahoma Panhandle to $6,620, and he will now wear the coveted trophy buckle provided to the all-around cowboy.

“I came back on a calf that tried, and I just went out and tried to make a He-Man run,” he said. “I ran him up there a ways. My horse, Rio, really made that run. He stopped hard, pulled the calf over my leg and let me tie him fast a long ways down the arena.”

Peek won the bulk of his money in tie-down roping, where he placed in all three go-rounds. His lone check in steer wrestling was for sharing the first-round with eventual champion Tyler Waguespack of Gonzalez, La.

Peek will now tend to some personal things around his Pueblo home before returning to rodeo in June.

“There aren’t a lot of rodeos in the next few weeks, so I’m going to let my horses rest up, really practice and get ready for June,” he said. “It’s the icing on the cake to leave for this little break with a win.”

Though he has NFR experience, it’s been six years since he has played for the largest payday in the game. He would like to return to the finale in both of his disciplines, just like he did in 2007 and 2009.

“Making it to Vegas is extremely important,” Peek said. “It’s been a long-term goal of mine to win an all-around world title and win an individual event title. This year I’ve got some new horses, and I’ve put some time into it.

“I’m putting the pedal to the metal and just going for it.”

That was the same approach taken by Roper Kiesner, a 22-year-old saddle bronc rider from Ripley, Okla. He matched moves with Pete Carr Pro Rodeo’s Manhatten Moon for 83 points on Sunday afternoon to finish third. He’s hoping that will catapult him to a fourth straight qualification to the RAM Prairie Circuit Finals Rodeo.

“Last year was the first time I’d ever ridden in Guymon,” Kiesner said. “I didn’t do very well, so it was a little disappointing. This year I had a really good horse. He helped me make a great ride.”

He earned $1,990 in Guymon, and that money will go a long ways to moving him up higher in the standings. Returning to Duncan, Okla., in October is important for the young cowboy. Qualifiers earn their way to the regional finale by finishing the regular season with enough money earned at rodeos primarily in Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska.

“It’s always been a dream of mine, and this year the money we win at the circuit finals will count toward the world standings,” Kiesner said. “I know everybody’s going to try to win the circuit because of that.”
