The 2024 San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo marked the conclusion of the Texas Swing and delivered new No. 1s and big risers in the World Standings.
Cooper Cooke Takes Over No. 1 in the World With Dominant Bareback Riding Performance
Cooke was the only roughstock cowboy to win both rounds in San Angelo doing so with matching 88.5-point rides, the first on Korkow Rodeo’s Buffalo Soldier and the second on Pickett Pro Rodeo’s Night Gazer
The win marked Cooke’s first since the Brawley Cattle Call (California) on Nov. 12, but he did make the Finals of the last four Texas Swing Rodeos.
He made $17,070 in San Angelo overtake RodeoHouston Champion Leighton Berry for the No. 1 spot in the PRCA World Standings. Cooke was 3.5 points clear of second place Jacob Lees.
Dylan Hancock Rockets Almost 40 Spots in PRCA World Standings
The 20-year-old entered the weekend No. 51 and completely off the radar of the rodeo world. Flash forward to Friday night and he was the champion of his hometown rodeo and on his way to ranking No. 13 in the PRCA World Standings after all the money was tallied.
Hancock was 7.8 to win the Short Round and claim the Average by four tenths of a second over one of his traveling partners Cole Clemons.
“It means everything (to win this rodeo), that was the coolest thing I’ve ever done right there, to make a great run in front of my home crowd, it was awesome,” he said.
Brooke Eddy Becomes First Ever Breakaway Champion With 2.1-Second Run in Finals
There were a total of 180 ladies vying to be the inaugural San Angelo Breakaway Roping Champion and it was Texas cowgirl Brooke Eddy who got it done with an aggregate time of 7.0 seconds on three.
Eddy won a total of $9,909 in San Angelo. Entering the rodeo, she had banked just $582 on the year and sat No. 238 in the World. By the time the money is counted from the weekend, she will be in the Top 50 of the WPRA World Standings.
“It’s been a trialing couple of years, but I think this is our year,” she said. “This horse means a lot to me...I’m just super thankful for her to come to something this big and do this, it means a lot.”
