A deluge of talented cowboys and cowgirls will descend upon Fort Madison, Iowa, next Wednesday, September 6, to compete in the 2017 Tri-State Rodeo CINCH Shoot-Out -- an exciting, tournament-style competition that features bull riding, calf roping, steer wrestling, and more.

But "talented" is almost an understatement when you look at the caliber of this year's entrants -- nearly half of them competed at the 2016 National Finals Rodeo, and many are ranked in the top 10 in a number of events according to the current PRCA and WPRA standings:

• ​Junior Nogueira ranks No. 5 in All-Around and No. 1 in Team Roping (Heelers)
  
• Kyle Driggers, Noguiera's partner, ranks No. 1 in Team Roping (Headers)
  
• Tim O'Connell, Tanner Aus, and Wyatt Denny rank No. 1-3, respectively, in Bareback
  
• Tyler Waguespack ranks No. 3 in Steer Wrestling
  
• Cody DeMoss ranks No. 3 in Saddle Bronc Riding
  
• Marty Yates ranks No. 7 in Tie-down Roping
  
• Brennon Eldred ranks No. 9 in Bull Riding
• Ivy Conrado ranks No. 15 in Barrel Racing 

With so many top-ranked competitors entering the venue next week, it's safe to say all of the events will bring their share of thrills, but bareback might be the most exciting as the PRCA's top riders -- ranked No. 1-3 in O'Connell, Aus, and Denny, in that order -- will battle for the title. Don't miss a moment of the action!
