Dwight Sells, the rider who attempted to take his rodeo skills from the arena to the interstate Friday in a horse rescue attempt, learned on Sunday that he was also the winner of the team roping contest at the 81st Eagle County Fair & Rodeo. While Sells competes throughout the summer every year, he said the 2021 Eagle County Fair & Rodeo just might go down as the most memorable event in his career. Sells and partner Cameron Tsinigine won the team roping contest’s overall average for the event, the highest team roping payout of the event at $1,560 apiece. Sells has won events on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuit before, but the Eagle County Fair & Rodeo win was Tsinigine’s first.
