Meet your 2016 Saddle Bronc Riding Champion

You have probably heard the name Thoreson if you pay any attention to rodeo. Why is that you may ask? Well for starters Cole Thoreson is no stranger to the pay window. Cole has also won the year-end Saddle Bronc Riding in the NRA not once but twice, in 2010 & 2012. He was also the reserve champ in 2011. Cole had a great regular season. The Dillon cowboy placed or won 12 rodeos through out the summer. This was good enough to have a $2100 lead over Arlee’s, Charles Lytle. Mathematically did Charles have a chance to take it away from Cole? Yes he did, but it had to play out just right. After the first round was over Cole had strengthened his lead by winning the first round with a 78.5 aboard Jacobs Rodeo’s 686 Hard Ball. Charles was able to get his bronc rode to stay in the average money but was unable to place in the first round, sealing the title for Thoreson. Cole Thoreson is the 2016 NRA Saddle Bronc Riding Champion! Congratulations on your 3rd title Cole!

Meet Your 2016 Champion Bull Rider



If you were at the Saturday night performance of the NRA Finals Rodeo and saw the opening, the guy I’m about to introduce to you was one that comes from a long line of “Cowboys”.   Connor Murnion came into the finals in the driver’s seat.  He had a great year placing or winning 7 rodeos throughout the regular season.  The Jordan, MT cowboy just needed to keep doing what he had been doing all summer to hold off Boulder, MT cowboy Cody Wortman.  The first two rounds didn’t go as planned for Murnion.  Going into the 3rd and final round he had Wortman hot on his heels for the 2016 NRA Bull Riding title.  He had to ride his final bull to make sure Wortman couldn’t sneak up and take it from him.  Connor Murnion in fact not only rode his bull, but did it with a score of 80.5, the highest marked bull ride of the entire finals. This young up and coming bull rider is the 2016 Northern Rodeo Association Bull Riding Champion.  Congratulations Connor on your 2016 title and very accomplished year.
