Rodeo Competitions Award Titles Across North America

Kansas State’s Rodeo Team is hosting a free barrel-racing jackpot at the new Bilbrey Family Event Center, with open, youth and senior competitors running together at 7 p.m. At the International Lineman’s Rodeo in Overland Park, three Jacksonville JEA lineworkers earned second place in two mystery events; the competition drew more than 300 teams and 450 apprentices, and a separate report published the 2026 champions and full results. At the Canadian Finals Rodeo, Bradi Whiteside won the breakaway roping championship for a second consecutive year and took the ladies’ all-around title, while other competitors claimed event championships and the Kenny McLean Memorial Award. The Appalachian Trail thru-hiker feature is unrelated to these rodeo reports and is not included.
