Resistol Rookie Headers:

Garett Chick; Salado, Texas

In the last few weeks of rodeo’s regular season, Garett Chick continues to remain second with $27,052.73 in season earnings behind Resistol Rookie’s leading man Kal Fuller.

“I guess I just want to win as much as I can—If I win, I win it,” Chick said. “If I don’t, it doesn’t really matter to me if I win a bunch. I guess that’s just how it is.”

Chick and 2018 Resistol Rookie Heeler of the Year Ross Ashford tied Chad Masters and Joseph Harrison to win the second round at the Walla Walla (Washington) Frontier Days rodeo. They each roped their steer in 4.4-seconds to earn the $2,164 a man.

“The year hasn’t been great,” Chick sighed. “We’ve placed quite a bit, but haven’t placed high enough at the bigger rodeos, which makes a big difference. After Albuquerque, I’m roping with Walt Woodard. I don’t know if I’ll hit my rodeo count or not. There’s probably nine or ten after Albuquerque that I’ll get to go to, so I’ll go to as many as I can get to with Walt and then start roping with him next year.”

The new partnership came about at the Ellensburg (Washington) Rodeo when Woodard asked Chick about his future plans.

“The other day at Ellensburg, he asked me if I was going to go next year. A couple days before that, me and Ross talked about it and we didn’t want to rope together anymore. We just haven’t won as much as we should. So when Walt asked me, I definitely took that up. We’re going to try it.”

Chick is also in the top 50 of the PRCA world standings with $27,052.73 in season earnings.
