Junior Ironman

The National Little Britches Rodeo Association Board of Directors announces the contestant selection for the 2025 Junior Ironman.

Senior boys ages 14-19 battled it out in over 500 sanctioned NLBRA rodeos nationwide. It has been a close race to include the 2024 regular season rodeos and the Little Britches finals held at the Lazy E during the summer of 2024. After a tough season of competition, the five NLBRA constituents for the 2025 Junior Ironman were reviewed and recommended by the committee and approved by the full board. The contestants competed during the regular season to accrue points in heading, heeling, tie down and steer wrestling, which are the events required of them at the Junior Ironman. The young men were chosen on the merits of points accrued in their events, their NLBRA finals results, as well as the level of competition and location during the season. These five young cowboys, plus five more chosen via a selection process through the Lazy E, will compete against each other, as they will have their chance at glory and compete at the 9th annual Jr. Ironman Championship. This event is considered a building ground for young guns who aspire to one day compete at the Timed Event Championships.

Our congratulations goes to Wyatt Williams, Luke Tippmann, Leo Loucks, Micah Kearney, and Kade Foster for being selected to participate in the 9th Junior Ironman in 2025. These 5 contestants will compete in three performances consisting of Heading, Heeling, Tie Down Roping and Steer Wrestling, for the Championship title, as well as $20,000. This challenging event will be the prelude to the Cinch Timed Event Championship and this prestigious event will be held at the fabulous Lazy E in Guthrie, OK, February 27 through March 1, 2025.
