By Bryan Painter The margin changed but the leader didn’t during the fourth round of the 2012 Timed Event Championship of the World on Saturday night before a sold out Lazy E Arena crowd. K.C. Jones, 44, of Burlington, Wyo., goes into Sunday’s fifth and final round with an opportunity to become only the second[...]

Cort Scheer is the reigning RodeoHouston saddle bronc riding champion who missed qualifying for the 2011 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo because of an injury. The talented Nebraskan is in the lead of Super Series II, winning the first round and finishing second in the second, pocketing $3,700 in the process. He’s well on his way[...]

By Bryan Painter In 15 runs at the 2012 Timed Event Championship of the World, K.C. Jones of Burlington, Wyo., has had just two times longer than the 20-second mark. Here’s why that’s impressive: At the Timed Event, a cowboy has to work both the heading and heeling of the team roping, tie-down calves, bulldog[...]

K.C. Jones has been the mark of consistency in his rodeo career. You don’t win Timed Event Championship titles without it. You also don’t carry the lead after two go-rounds of the unique contest, but Jones did that Friday in the first of three days of competition featuring 20 of the best all-around timed-event cowboys[...]

By Bryan Painter The first-round leaderboard at the Timed Event Championship of the World is a lot like Oklahoma weather: There’s a pretty good chance it won’t look the same for very long. Russell Cardoza of Terrebonne, Ore., and Kyle Lockett of Visalia, Calif., were ninth and 10th respectively after the first run of the[...]

1. Russell Cardoza, 58.6 seconds; 2. Kyle Lockett, 62.2; 3. K.C. Jones, 63.3; 4. Jess Tierney, 67.5; 5. Jim Ross Cooper, 69.7; 6. Josh Peek, 75.1; 7. Scott Snedecor, 78.0; 8. Daniel Green, 78.8; 9.

JoJo LeMond is listed as6-foot-1, 155 pounds, and that’s stretching it. Still, it’s not the picture you’re going to see next to the definition of STEER WRESTLER. But he must be a bulldogger if he wants to be part of the field at the Timed Event Championship. During Friday’s first go-round, LeMond took a 60-second[...]

We’re less than an hour and a half from kickoff of the 2012 Timed Event Championship at the Lazy E Arena. As always, I look for this to be a fantastic event. It takes a certain kind of cowboy to compete at this level, because each man faces the challenge of competing on five head[...]
