Cody Doescher, Cinch Timed Event Championship reigning titlist, won his third consecutive Round 2 title, worth $3,000, for a time of 57.7 seconds on five head, moving him to sixth in the average after 10 head with a time of 147.8 seconds in the Lazy E Arena.

Doescher was ninth heading into the second round after a time of 90.1 seconds on the first five.

“I just kind of had to try to take one run at a time,” Doescher, 33, of Webber Falls, Oklahoma, said. “I drew good today. You know, my tripping steer, he tried me a little bit, but other than that, I just kind of tried to be smart to barrier and just try to do what I do and not change nothing.”

Doescher has essentially the same team of horses and helpers this year as he did last year, save for the head horse and hazing horse, and though he sold his heel horse, he’s borrowed her back just for the Lazy E’s Ironman event.

Hill Rodeo Cattle’s strong pen of steers has taken more cowboys out with 60s than usual in 2024, and the format—that cut five men after Round 2 and will send five more home after Round 4—has changed some competitors’ game plan.

“You know, there’s kind of two ways that you can think about it,” Doescher said. “One way is make sure you’re just trying to make the cut, and the other way is why I kind of try to look at it as just not worried about the cut. If I do my job on all my steers and every round, then I don’t have to worry about the cut. I focus on the end result instead of just getting by.”
