“Unbelievable”: Female Rodeo Star Shares Career Highlights in Candid Interview

The realm of rodeo is all about providing equal opportunities to men and women for outclassing their competitors. The 2023 WRCA Triple Crown of Rodeo series witnessed its first stop being hosted by Rodeo Corpus Christi. Since then, the run for $1 million is still on. Isaac Diaz, who got bested by the underdogs at his Rodeo Carolina attempt, is coming again. But, he has strong contenders to deal with this time.

The annual major events series, the Triple Crown of Rodeo, rewards the most eligible athlete with $1 million. But the catch is, the rodeo athlete has to win three consecutive major events to claim the win. Appearing in the upcoming $1 million run, Jackie Crawford girds up for a stellar show. But before that, she walks down her rodeo memory lane.

Female rodeo legend comes with career highlights

According to the World Champions Rodeo Alliance’s Instagram post, the legendary Jackie Crawford has some stories to share. The post captioned as “Watch the WCRA Triple Crown of Rodeo Journey THIS SATURDAY on CBS”, was the official announcement that she’s the one to look out for. In the video, she summed up her rodeo journey as “unbelievable”, while also acknowledging the changes in the sport for good.

The WCRA Triple Crown of Rodeo is coming on December 23, 2023 to give an opportunity to the athletes to pursue their $1 million dream. Three athletes standing as the title defenders are RC Landingham, Isaac Diaz, and Jackie Crawford. But all eyes on the star woman who had started her career with just a $6000 win. Shedding light on her safari, she said, “What we’re getting to do and how it’s changing, and how we look at our future… it’s amazing.” The breakaway roping specialist stands with 19 World Championship titles currently. The women who got overlooked by the sport once have enough reasons to cherish Crawford. But Crawford has an amazing family to thank foremost.

Crawford’s journey to the top

Speed events have always been legend Jackie Crawford’s forte. Starting off her speeding expeditions with barrel racing, pole bending and flag race in Illinois, she saw a turn of events after a location change. She moved to Oklahoma at 11, her real passion for rung, and at 14 or 15, she started to practice breakaway roping. All credits to her mom, who supported her passion in horsemanship.

Later on in life, one of her main guiding star was Lari Dee Guy, for whom she had the scope to ride the big guys. Having turned several heads with her roping skills at the PRCA events among others, it would be pleasing to see Crawford stand with the $1 million win.
