The NIRA and WCRA are proud to announce a partnership and a combined effort to raise the College Rodeo bar. The two rodeo organizations are teaming up to bring a $10,000 bonus to the 2024 College National Finals Rodeo next June.

How Do You Win?

The “WCRA Trifecta” will pay a $10,000 cash bonus to any NIRA athlete who:

  • Wins their respective discipline in their region
  • Wins at least one go-round of competition at the CNFR in the same discipline
  • Wins the CNFR National Championship title in that discipline
  • The athlete must have nominated their ride or run with WCRA at the CNFR to be eligible for the bonus.

If more than one athlete completes the trifecta, then those athletes will split the bonus.

  • Bareback Riding
  • Steer Wrestling
  • Barrel Racing
  • Breakaway Roping
  • Tie-Down Roping
  • Saddle Bronc Riding
