The next time Donny Proffit sets foot on the floor of the Ford Wyoming Center formerly the Casper Events Center it will be in a pair of cowboy boots and not a pair of wrestling shoes. For Karson Bradley, she won’t fret too much about competing in collegiate rodeo’s biggest event she’s been there before.
Proffit will return to Casper this time for the College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) June 13-19 as a member of the University of Wyoming rodeo team, not as a four-time state champion wrestler for Kemmerer High School (KHS). For Bradley, from Big Piney, this will be her second time around under the spotlight she knows the Ford Wyoming Center’s dirt arena well.
