The PRCA was quick to acknowledge a special win at the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo that took place over the weekend at Western Park in Vernal. Roosevelt cowboy Rhen Richard won the tie-down roping competition at the rodeo, a success that he hopes to build upon. “It’s been a rough couple of weeks,” shared Richard in the PRCA

highlight. “This is hometown for me, and I seem to have pretty good luck at that rodeo. It was really good to see all my friends and family, and it’s awesome to be able to get a win and move on. It seems like if you get started off good, you can keep that going, but when you start bad it’s hard to get the ball rolling back in the right direction. It’s kind of a chain of events here.” Richard qualified last year for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and hopes he can gain momentum to qualify this year as well. The other winners of the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo included Wenda Johnson in barrel racing, Riley and Brady Minor in team roping, Austin Foss in bareback riding, and Nick Guy in steer wrestling. Stetson Wright was award the title of all-around cowboy after winning in both bull riding and saddle bronc riding.
