Home Turf Triumph: Dylan Hancock Secures Win in San Angelo

20-year-old tie-down roping sensation Dylan Hancock took the average win in his hometown of San Angelo, Texas, for a nice $10,000 check and a boost in the PRCA World Standings.

The final rodeo of the “Texas Swing” concluded on Friday, April 18, after three weeks of action-packed rodeos. The hometown crowd is known to show up and show out for each performance, most of the time selling out, and the vibes are electric. The rodeo paid out over $750,000 to professional cowboys and cowgirls chasing a coveted National Finals Rodeo qualification. 

The star of the show was hometown cowboy Dylan Hancock, who took home the average championship and first in the short round in the tie-down roping for a total of $12,473.

The 2023 Rookie of the Year excels in his respective events at the college level and sits atop of the standings in the NIRA Southwest Region in multiple events as well as the All-Around. 

Being from the "Tie-Down Roping Capital" and home of the San Angelo Roping Fiesta, the young cowboy has an exceptional talent and is one to watch in the World Standings Race.

Barrel racer Wenda Johnson felt right at home as well when she took the win in the first round, second in the second round, and seventh in the finals for an average time of 44.00 seconds and the top honors on Friday night. Johnson historically does very well in San Angelo, winning the first round and placing third in the average in 2022. 

The inaugural year for the breakaway roping at San Angelo was a successful one for Brooke Eddy as she cashed in her championship check of $6,962 after roping 7.0 seconds on three head. Eddy also won the final round and placed in the first round to add to the lump sum of cash she took home. 

Cooper Cooke took the championship in the bareback riding after 177 points on two head and two 88.5-point rides on Korkow Rodeos’ Buffalo Soldier and Pickett Pro Rodeo’s Night Gazer for both round wins. 

Veteran Matt Reeves and rookie cowboy Cole Walker tied for the average championship in steer wrestling after 12.8 seconds on three head. Their efforts were good for $9,191 each in average money after it was all said and done. 

Shay Carroll and Jace Helton partnered up for a "Texas Swing" championship in San Angelo after 13.9 seconds on three head in the team roping. They gathered up over $8,500 in average money each and placed in the rounds as well.

The saddle Bbonc riding was another head-to-head match between 2023 Reserve World Champion Sage Newman and Tanner Butner after 174 points on two head. Butner topped Newman in the final round on J Bar J’s In The Lu with 88.5 points for the round win.  

The bull riding concluded the rodeo as the fan favorite and it was Scott Wells who took home the top honors after 171.5 points on two head. Pete Carr Pro Rodeo’s Twilight Zone carried the cowboy to an 85.5-point ride in the finals, being the only qualified ride and picking up all of the ground money for a whopping $5,000 round win.
