Ketch Kelton was the only cowboy to bring it a time under 400 seconds at the Cinch Timed Event Championship and he did so by a long shot. His 338.6 seconds earned him the coveted title, $190,000 and is one heck of a way to start out his career.
“This is one of the biggest and the coolest wins I think I’ve ever had. The next couple goals of mine are to make the [National Finals Rodeo] once I get done with college and possibly win the [Bob Feist Invitational],” Kelton said.
The Lazy E Arena has been good to Arizona young gun. He is a two-time Junior Ironman Champion, now the Cinch Timed Event Champion and he has had success at the BFI in the past as well.
“I think that the big arena just depends on your horsepower and I’ve got a very good horse right now. And I’m just used to roping in big country because that’s where I was raised. I was raised in a big arena and makes me feel kind of like home,” he said.
On top of exceptional horsepower, Kelton looks back at his time at the Cinch Timed Event and says he drew good and capitalized. His parents and Colter Todd were also behind the scenes helping the 19 year old make sure everything was just right.
With one Cinch Timed Event Championship to his name, Kelton is well on his way to success in the arena.
