Central Point, Ore., is a fan-favorite rodeo that is well attended by rodeo athletes and a plethora of rodeo fans.

Fans come from the surrounding areas to join in on some rodeo action and maybe even another 100-point bull ride. The fans attending the Wild Rogue Rodeo sure had a treat when they witnessed the 100-point bull ride made by Wade Leslie in 1991. The "perfect ride" was the talk of the sport and is still remembered today. Many in the rodeo world still talk about the bull he rode. His name was "Wolfman," and that same year, he was the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) Bucking Bull of the Year. He bucked at the NFR four times before his retirement in 1995.

Flash forward to 2024, and we have other notable cowboys joining Leslie with their wins in Central Point, Ore., April 16-18, 2024.

R.C. Landingham walked away with the top honors in the bareback riding. He was 84 points aboard Four Star Rodeo's Big Star, just one point higher than Ben Kramer with 83 points to come in second. The first-place check was worth $2,154, which looks good in the world standings for Landingham.

R.C. is sitting at No. 11 in the World Standings with four NFR qualifications under his belt so far. There is a long summer of rodeos ahead, but it looks as though he has a pretty good start in his pursuit of the 2024 NFR.

The all around for the rodeo was won by Cody Stewart. He won money in both the team roping and the tie-down roping. He came out with $2,295 between the two events, the all-around is won by the contestant that competes in and wins money in more than one event. Stewart roped with Dan Williams in the team roping, they were eighth place a time of 11.7 seconds winning $966 each. The remainder of his money was won in the tie-down roping with a time of 10.8 seconds and a payoff of $1,329 for the fourth-place check.
