One year ago, Erich Rogers—the 2017 PRCA World Champion Header—claimed the Cinch Timed Event Championship title in the Lazy E Arena after a marathon of catching 25 head across five rounds in 311.3 seconds. The win earned him a total of $104,000—a feat he hopes to duplicate at the 39th CTEC in 2023.

“Same thing,” Rogers said of his game plan. “Just try to knock every one down. Try not to get ahead of myself, and, one steer at a time, one calf at a time and one event at a time. I’ll just do the best I can on the livestock I draw.”

Rogers, who also won the NFR average in 2020, will lean on 2023 ProRodeo partner and two-time World Champion Heeler Paul Eaves to compete in the heading, while NFR qualifier Logan Olson will put a handle on Rogers’ steers in the heeling.

His hazer and his horse were still in the works for the bulldogging at time of press, but Rogers will be using his own horse, ER Dash To Dinero, aka “Elsa,” in the heading, and an Eaves horse in the heeling. His calf horse was TBD, too, but in the steer tripping, he’ll be riding a tried-and-true buckskin mount from Lee Lee named Bola.

Things were looking solid for Rogers at last year’s event, when his final round went haywire and his win wavered in the fray of the moment.

“As Rogers was stepping off his horse at the very back end of the Lazy E,” reported The Team Roping Journal, “his rope got caught between his saddle and his horse, causing a disruptive jerk in his run. At the same time, as he’s swinging off, his legs cramp—sending him tumbling backward into the dirt for what seemed like hours.”

The leg cramps are a consistent challenge for Rogers who, in the heat of battle last year, stopped taking his potassium pills when he arrived in Guthrie—a mistake he plans to remedy this year.

“I’ll damn sure be eating some bananas and some potassium pills,” Rogers quipped.

The Navajo roper has won nearly every major PRCA rodeo, The American, the Bob Feist Invitational, and he’s also a two-time Indian National Finals Rodeo Champion Header. In May of 2022, he and Aaron Tsinigine and Derrick Begay teamed up with the non-profit Warriors And Rodeo to offer a free roping clinic to the military veterans of the Indian Nation, which was held in Window Rock, Arizona. There, the attending veterans commented regularly on what an honor it was to rope with the Navajo Nation’s Ironman.

The CINCH Timed Event Championship of the World debuted in 1985. In the world of rodeo at that time, cowboys were beginning to specialize in one or two events. EK Ga***rd II, builder and owner of the Lazy E, and a few close cowboy friends had the idea to develop an event that showcased the all-around cowboy, the cowboy who could excel in multiple events, and thus the “Ironman of Pro Rodeo” was born.

Pro rodeo’s top 20 timed event cowboys in the world are invited and required to compete in all five timed events—heading, tie-down, heeling, steer wrestling, and steer roping—over five rounds & three grueling days of competition. While there have been a few minor changes over the years, the event has essentially remained the same. With a total purse of $200,000, the winner walks away with a $100,000 paycheck and bragging rights. The Timed Event Champion of the World remains an elusive title that only a select few can claim!

There are five rounds, where each rider will compete in five events. After the first four rounds, the top 15 riders will return for the fifth round. The times will be combined for an aggregate, and no-times will receive an automatic 60 seconds.

PRCA rules apply to the Cinch TEC, although earnings will not count towards the PRCA World Standings.

The 2023 CINCH Timed Event Championship is right around the corner, and the world’s most talented all-around cowboys will return to battle March 2-4 at the fabulous Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma. These wildly talented and versatile warriors will go head-to-head grueling marathon-style in five rounds of heading, heeling, tie-down roping, steer wrestling and steer roping to vie for the champion’s check of $100,000. No Western-world cowboy competition is more demanding or prestigious than this one. In the words of four-time Timed Event titlist Paul Tierney, who has two sons in the field again this year, “The Timed Event is a king of kings event.”

“Winning the Timed Event last year was a big, big deal to me—still is,” said 2022 CTEC Champ Erich Rogers of Round Rock, Arizona. “I’m kind of scared this year like I’m up on stage and I’ve got to perform again. There are a lot of expectations for me to repeat. Do you know how hard it is to repeat at this event?”

To take it from the top, the Navajo cowboy earned his first Timed Event title in nine tries.
“After all I’ve been through to be here makes this win even sweeter,” – said Rogers after his winning – “The Timed Event is one of the greatest events ever. You don’t get to compete against the best 20 all-around cowboys in the world in five different events anywhere else in the world.”

💥 The CINCH Timed Event Championship “The Ironman of ProRodeo,” is one of the most unique events in in Western sports, where each contestant will compete in all five roping disciplines: heading, heeling, tie-down roping, steer wrestling and steer roping.
