LEADS CHANGE IN TIMED EVENTS DURING THE THIRD PERFORMANCE OF CALDWELL NIGHT RODEO

 CALDWELL, Idaho (Aug 14, 2025) – There was a very popular time of 3.9 seconds during the third performance of the Caldwell Night Rodeo.

That time saw new leaders in two of the events. It started with the steer wrestling where Denell Henderson, the 2019 Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Resistol Rookie of the Year moved to the top of the leaderboard. Henderson is currently in the top 40 in the world standings. A win here would solidify his position and qualify him for the winter rodeos giving his 2026 season a jump start.

As soon as steer wrestlers were done, it was team ropers riding into the D&B Supply Arena. When Luke Brown swung his rope and connected, Trey Yates rode in and finished their run. Again, the clock read 3.9 seconds. Brown, from Rock Hill, South Carolina, and Yates of Pueblo, Colorado, are now at the top of the leaderboard.

A sold-out performance saw Idaho’s own Cooper Cooke move into a tie for first place in the bareback riding. Cooke scored 87 points on Northcott & Yule Rodeo’s horse named Mentally Chill. He is now tied with Mason Yancy who also makes his home in Idaho. Yancy lives in nearby Emmett and rode here during the second performance.

The bull riding has one full round of competition here. There have been four successful rides so far with Jace Trosclair scoring 86 points on Thursday. That put the Chauvin, Louisiana, resident in third place.

All of the competitors in the other events are hoping to be in the top 12 after Friday night’s performance and qualify to compete here for a championship on Saturday night.

Action continues at the D&B Supply Arena at 8 p.m. on Friday. It will be a special celebration of the military with Patriot Night.
