CODY, Wyo., July 4, 2025 — Fireworks started early in Wyoming at the Cody Stampede Rodeo, July 1 – 4.
Blasting off early in the competition on July 2nd was steer wrestler Bridger Anderson from Carrington, North Dakota who was the man to beat with a 4.2 second run. That held until the third rodeo performance where it was matched by 2nd generation rodeo competitor Luke Gee from Stamford, Montana. They tied for the win and each earned $6,909 of the nearly $400,000 paid at Stampede Park during the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and Women’s Professional Rodeo Association sanctioned events.
The 90-point bareback and saddle bronc riding scores from the third performance also held through night four. Bareback rider Nick Pelke from Mondovi, Wisconsin earned $10,610 while Brody Cress from Hillsdale, Wyoming earned $10,462 in saddle bronc riding.
The big money winner here was barrel racer Hailey Kinsel from Cotulla, Texas. Riding her great mare DM Sissy Hayday that fans all know as Sister, she stopped the clock in 16.87 seconds to earn her first title here. She has been close before, finishing second in 2021 and again the past two years.
Team roping saved the best for last. There were 181 teams that had roped in Stampede Park with one to go. That team, Clint Summers and Jade Corkill, stopped the clock in 3.8 seconds to win the event by two-tenths of a second. Summers, from Lake City, Florida and Corkill, from Victoria, Texas, each won $8,111. The second-place team of Clay Smith from Broken Bow, Okla., and Nicky Northcott, from Stephenville, Texas, had a time of 4.0 earning them $7,029 each. Corkill also had a second-place finish here in 201 heeling for Clay Smith.
Plans are underway for the 2026 Cody Stampede which will kick off with bull riding June 30 and then offer four nights of the best that professional rodeo has to offer July 1 – 4.
