The Rodeo Round Up team will be on-site to report on all of the happenings at this year’s Cowboy Christmas. We will be focusing on some of the in arena action throughout the ten days as well as gathering some great up close and personal interviews with some of the stage show hosts, contestants, musical acts and special guests for future stories in the weeks following the completion of the 2015 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

Today we bring you this courtesy of the NFR Experience:
2014 — Sage Kimzey, the 20-year-old from Strong City, Okla., put together one of the finest rodeo seasons in not only his event’s history, but in all of rodeo history. Kimzey earned $318,631 and ran away with not only the world title, but also the Wrangler NFR average buckle, as well as the PRCA Resistol Rookie of the Year award and the RAM Top Gun truck. He broke the bull riding earnings record with $175,466, and finished just $2,135 behind bull rider Matt Austin’s record for the best single-event rodeo season in history.
