World Champion Team Roping Header Erich Rogers has racked up another National Finals Rodeo qualification bringing his total to 13 career trips. This was his second regular season roping with fellow World Champion Heeler, Paul Eaves, and the duo is two for two for Las Vegas.
Rogers is the No. 13 ranked header this year with $115,181 to his name.
Turquoise Circuit Finals, $6,620
In November, Rogers regular season started with an All-Around title at the Circuit Finals and that was in part, thanks to his success with Eaves in the team roping. They placed in every Go-Round with their fastest time of the week coming in at 4.6 in Round 3 for a second-place finish. The Average title was theirs by over three seconds.
79th Annual Yuma Silver Spur Rodeo, $2,333
Another win that came out of Arizona was in Yuma. While winning the All-Around once again was the icing on top and the team roping win added to his earnings after a 5.3-second run was just fast enough to beat Derrick Begay and Colter Todd.
Strawberry Days Rodeo, $2,960
Rogers’ Summer Run got started with a win that came their way in Utah by three tenths of a second. A time of 4.3 seconds would get the win over Dustin Egusquiza and Levi Lord to give Rogers and Eaves a boost of momentum at just the right time.
California Rodeo Salinas, $10,946
The biggest payday of Rogers’ season came in California. While they only placed in two Rounds, it was marathon for the duo and the Average was theirs by two seconds. The 8.0-second run that put them fourth in Round 1 would remain to be their fastest run of the rodeo.
Fallon County Fair and Rodeo, $6,899
The middle of August would bring Rogers his next win. A 3.9-second run would cinch the win in Baker, Montana by the margin of half a second. They would also clock the only sub-4-second run of the rodeo to cash in.
Lake County Round-Up, $3,556
September would kick off just right for Rogers and Eaves. The dup picked up another win in Oregon. After stopping the clock at 4.1 seconds, the win was theirs by two tenths of a second.
West Texas Fair and Rodeo, $4,768
In Abilene, Rogers and Eaves would pick up the Round 1 win alongside the Average win and a fifth-place pay day in Round 2. Their 4.4 in Round 1 was the second fastest time of the whole rodeo.
Sheriff’s PRCA Rodeo, $3,763
The final rodeo of his regular season brought Rogers his final pay day as well. A 5.0-second run was all it took and he added one last win to his 2024 regular season by three tenths of a second and locked in his return to the Thomas and Mack.
