Kaden Profili is in his second year of professional rodeo and after teaming up with veteran header, Brenten Hall, the Texas heeler is Thomas and Mack bound for the first time.
During the 2024 regular season, Profili more than doubled his earnings from his rookie year and is entering Las Vegas well inside the Top 10 in the World.
Clark County Fair and Rodeo, $7,159
April brought the up-and-coming star his first win by way of Nevada. A 5.0-second run in Round 1 was enough for fourth and a 4.8 in Round 2 put him fourth in the Round again. When combined, the two times put them on top of the Average for the win.
Black Hills Roundup, $3,795
Year two of Cowboy Christmas for Profili included a win in the Black Hills of South Dakota. A time of 4.5 seconds was fast enough for the win by three tenths of a second to beat Billy Bob Brown and Josh Patton.
Summit County Fair and Rodeo, $2,200
Utah would be the home of Profili’s next success this season and it was a win that came by big margins. Nine tenths of a second would be the difference between Hall and Profili’s winning time of 4.6 seconds and the No. 2 team.
Caldwell Night Rodeo, $6,204
While Round 1 in Idaho eluded Profili, Round 2, the Finals and the Average did not. A 5.5 and 6.1 were both times good enough for the Go-Round wins. The duo split the Average title with Tee McLeod and Sid Sporer after a time of 18.1 seconds on three head was the best.
Ellensburg Rodeo, $9,112
Labor Day Weekend would be Profili’s highest pay day of the regular season. He rodeoed like a veteran placing consistently in all two rounds and the Finals to put himself, once again, on top of the Average.
Lewiston Roundup, $4,275
Back in Idaho, Profili cashed in his last win of the regular season. With a time of 3.7 seconds, Hall and Profili came out on top of a four way tie for second by one tenth of a second to lock in their trip to Las Vegas.
