Won the YMBL Championship Rodeo (Beaumont, TX)
Co-Champion at Rodeo Austin (TX)
When it comes to rodeoing, Cole Edge is a business man. His
occupational approach sets his focus on consistency rather than
primarily on the “win.” He steers his attention more toward
making strong starts and steady runs, two important
components he knows he can wrestle to the bank.
Edge’s love for rodeo led him to find love himself. While
competing in college, he qualified for the College National Finals
Rodeo (CNFR) in 2007 where he met his wife, Torrie, who was
competing in goat tying. He placed third in the finals but left
with something more profound than a gold buckle.
He has been approaching this season like any another: His eye
on consistency. This method has proven to work in his favor
as Edge has amassed big wins and even bigger cash prizes. He
co-championed at Rodeo Austin, one of the most notable
rodeos of the season with rich western history and generous
payouts. He tied for first place in the finals with a four second
run tallying 8,225 dollars in earnings. He placed first at the
YMBL Championship Rodeo in March accomplishing a
remarkable 3.5 second run and walked away with 1,724 added to
his earnings. These wins put Edge on the top of the rodeo map.
Cole Edge may not be decorated in gold buckles, but he uses his
skills strategically with efforts put toward the bigger picture and
that gives him a real edge on the competition. His commitment
to persistent performances has landed Edge in the top of the
World Standings. He is progressing towards his second
qualification for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and just
might win it all this year.
