FROST’S WINNING WAYS CONTINUE AT CODY

CODY, Wyo., June 30, 2024 — Josh Frost has his sights set on winning and that is just what he did at the Cody/Yellowstone Xtreme Bulls.

Frost showed up at Stampede Park third in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association world standings. He scored 89 points on Frontier Rodeo’s bull named Stranger Danger in front of a sold-out crowd. That added $12,902 to his season earnings and should help him in the standings.

The Randlett, Utah, resident is on track to qualify for his sixth Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR). He made his first appearance in Las Vegas in 2019 and after failing to have a qualified ride on a bull in the Thomas and Mack Center, he was ready for redemption.

The next year saw rodeo’s cancel because of Covid and he finished outside of the top 15. He kept getting on practice bulls and working towards 2021. That year, he won the NFR championship by riding seven out of ten bulls. He finished second in the race for a world title. He did that again in 2022 and 2023.           The talented cowboy will be back here later this week to compete as part of the Cody Stampede Rodeo.

“This is a great way to start Cowboy Christmas,” he said as he was leaving the arena. “I’ve got a really busy schedule through the Fourth of July and just hope I can keep the momentum going.”

 He has some extra motivation to keep adding to his earnings. He and his wife, Erika, are expecting their first child, a girl in August.

There was a total of $43,005 paid at this year’s Xtreme Bulls to eight bull riders. Most of them will be back here to compete at the rodeo which starts at 8 p.m. opn Monday, July 1. Gates open at 6 and fans are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy live music and entertainment on the Rodeo Plaza.
