Next month, the 13-year-old eighth grader from Smithville, Texas, will be making his fourth trip to Las Vegas tocompete in the nation’s premier youth rodeo. This year’s JWF, which will be held just south of the Las Vegas Convention Center in a 52,000-square-foot tent, is scheduled for Dec. 5-14. And Wyatt will be spending a majority of his time at the JWF’s Wrangler Rodeo Arena. The three-event cowboy will compete in the 12-and-under tie-down roping, the 12-and-under breakaway roping and the team roping #10.5 division. “I’m ready,” Wyatt said in a phone interview last week. “I get to miss some school.” He also gets to do what he enjoys: rope. “I love this sport,” Wyatt admitted. “I think it’s just being with my friends and competing.” Wyatt will have plenty […]

Kelly Kaminski Is No Stranger To Dealing With Change

A five-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier in barrel racing and a two-time Women’s Professional Rodeo Association world champion (2004-05), Kaminski faced numerous challenges during her professional career. “I’ve changed a few tires on the side of the road heading to rodeos,” she said. “And I got drawn out of rodeos because I didn’t get my entry fees turned in on time. There was always something.” These days, Kaminski is helping youth rodeo contestants learn how to overcome obstacles while serving as the producer of the Kelly Kaminski Run for Vegas Barrel Racing and Pole Bending competitions. Once again, Kaminski and her kids will be in Las Vegas for the Junior World Finals on Dec. 5-14 in Las Vegas. Junior and senior barrel racing and 17 & Under pole bending are scheduled for Dec. 10-14. Kaminski has overseen barrel racing at the Junior […]

Now in its ninth year, the rodeo takes place Dec. 5-14 and will once again be at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with a twist. “The Junior World Finals will be held outside in a 52,000 square-foot tent just south of The Cowboy Channel Cowboy Christmas,” said Brilynn Bentley, the Corporate Marketing Manager for Las Vegas Events and the JWF Assistant General Manager. “So you will walk through Cowboy Christmas and walk out to the Junior World Finals Arena. “Contestants will have a parking lot next to the tent for the timed-events and our roughstock group will be able to walk straight through Cowboy […]
