California weather called top rodeo contestants as the San Diego Rodeo made kicked off January 12-14, 2024. The new rodeo took place in Petco Park, the baseball stadium that’s home to the San Diego Padres, and paid $20,000 a man to the team roping champs.

Who won the 2024 San Diego Rodeo team roping?

Marcus Theriot and Logan Medlin teamed up in sunny California to win the inaugural San Diego Rodeo. While they aren’t ProRodeo partners, the Mississippi and New Mexico natives had no trouble kicking off their weekend in Petco Park on the right foot. They won the first round with a 4.4, and their $3,500 win secured them a spot in Sunday’s eight-man round.

They picked up a leg in the eight-man but won enough just off the first round to advance to the sudden-death round of four. They started the round off as the first team out, and their 3.9-second run held strong, clinching the win. As one of only two teams to catch, they picked up some extra money for the win, pocketing $30,000 just for the four-man round. All in all, Theriot and Medlin left the West Coast with $33,500.00 each.
