CHEYENNE, Wyo. — July 25, 2017 — Tuesday, Cody Teel became the first cowboy to ride two bulls at the 121st Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo (CFD).
The 2012 world champion scored 89 points on Rocky Mountain Rodeo’s bull Bomb Pop. That score put Teel at the top of the second-round leaderboard and, when combined with the 84-point ride he made on Monday, gave the Kountze, Texas, cowboy 173 total points. Teel +is virtually assured a spot in Sunday’s championship round when the 121 riders with the highest total scores vie for the 2017 CFD title.
Teel, who has qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR) five times, has an impressive rodeo resume. He’s won titles at every level from high school to the pros, but he’s never won a championship at CFD. This is one of his favorite rodeos and he would love to add the title to his resume.
The overall lead changed in four other events. Separated ribs aren’t slowing down Oregon’s David Peebles who turned in another score of 84.5 in the bareback riding. Although it wasn’t the high-marked ride of the day, it still gave him the overall lead by 2.5 points. Oklahoma’s Joe Lufkin leads the saddle bronc riding with 165 points, after an 83-point effort on Rocky Mountain Rodeo’s Elvira that tied for the second-round lead. Texas’s Jana Bean has already won more than $3,000 here by placing sixth in the first round of barrel racing. Her time of 17.59 seconds today leads the second round and put her first overall, seven-hundredths of a second ahead of fellow Texan Jackie Ganter who place third in the opening round.
The fifth performance of the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo starts at 12:15 p.m. tomorrow. All contestants will be competing in the first round, except the barrel racers who will be in round two.
