When the chutes open for the 92nd annual Kansas Biggest Rodeo, more than 525 cowboys and cowgirls will be ready to rope, run and ride. Out of the fourteen champions from last year’s Phillipsburg Rodeo, eight return to defend their titles. One of them is Kansas cowboy Jesse Pope. The Waverly, Kansas bareback rider is ranked seventh in the world standings and is having one of the best years of his young career.
