JACKSON HOLE, WYO – Dylan Grant grew up in rodeo. The young bull rider has eased himself down on many a bad one at the local Jackson Hole Rodeo only to find his payday was a mouthful of dirt.

But last weekend, Grant was magic. At the 2018 Wyoming High School Rodeo Association state competition in Rock Springs, Grant’s combined 208.5 score handily beat out all comers making him the bull riding champ of the event. Wyatt Phelps was the next closest competitor with a 151.5 score. The win also qualifies Grant for Nationals next month.

Representing a western sport that refuses to fade in an ever-changing world, Grant could make a profession out of riding. He’s that good.

Grant was the winner of First Go, Short Go, Average, and Year End. He’s raked in a couple of buckles, a saddle, plaque, $200 from Kings Saddlery, and Cinch Jeans swag. The young cowboy has also earned a PRCA permit.
