One year ago, Erich Rogers—the 2017 PRCA World Champion Header—claimed the Cinch Timed Event Championship title in the Lazy E Arena after a marathon of catching 25 head across five rounds in 311.3 seconds. The win earned him a total of $104,000—a feat he hopes to duplicate at the 39th CTEC in 2023.

“Same thing,” Rogers said of his game plan. “Just try to knock every one down. Try not to get ahead of myself, and, one steer at a time, one calf at a time and one event at a time. I’ll just do the best I can on the livestock I draw.”

Rogers, who also won the NFR average in 2020, will lean on 2023 ProRodeo partner and two-time World Champion Heeler Paul Eaves to compete in the heading, while NFR qualifier Logan Olson will put a handle on Rogers’ steers in the heeling.

His hazer and his horse were still in the works for the bulldogging at time of press, but Rogers will be using his own horse, ER Dash To Dinero, aka “Elsa,” in the heading, and an Eaves horse in the heeling. His calf horse was TBD, too, but in the steer tripping, he’ll be riding a tried-and-true buckskin mount from Lee Lee named Bola.

Things were looking solid for Rogers at last year’s event, when his final round went haywire and his win wavered in the fray of the moment.

“As Rogers was stepping off his horse at the very back end of the Lazy E,” reported The Team Roping Journal, “his rope got caught between his saddle and his horse, causing a disruptive jerk in his run. At the same time, as he’s swinging off, his legs cramp—sending him tumbling backward into the dirt for what seemed like hours.”

The leg cramps are a consistent challenge for Rogers who, in the heat of battle last year, stopped taking his potassium pills when he arrived in Guthrie—a mistake he plans to remedy this year.

“I’ll damn sure be eating some bananas and some potassium pills,” Rogers quipped.

The Navajo roper has won nearly every major PRCA rodeo, The American, the Bob Feist Invitational, and he’s also a two-time Indian National Finals Rodeo Champion Header. In May of 2022, he and Aaron Tsinigine and Derrick Begay teamed up with the non-profit Warriors And Rodeo to offer a free roping clinic to the military veterans of the Indian Nation, which was held in Window Rock, Arizona. There, the attending veterans commented regularly on what an honor it was to rope with the Navajo Nation’s Ironman.
