Team roping header and steer roper Coleman Proctor won two titles at the 2026 Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo.
The Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo is one of those unique annual spring rodeos. Every year the best make the trip to Guymon, Oklahoma. In the roping events the cattle are big, the score is long, and the arena is big and wide open. The rodeo is also a part of the PRCA Playoff Series this year. It takes a real cowboy talent to dominate in a single event, let alone two.
In 2026, Coleman Proctor showed up in Guymon to win two titles. Proctor is known mostly for his team roping, heading for Travis Graves this year. Proctor and Graves won the team roping average in Guymon with a time of 21.1 on three steers. No round wins, just consistent good roping and they got the title. Both of them are Oklahoma natives, making the win a little more special.
Luke Brown and Buddy Hawkins II won the first round with a 5.7. Then in round 2, Shay Dixon Carroll and Denton Dunning put together a 5.7 of their own for the win. In the semi-finals, it was Jake Clay and Whip Peterson's turn to do the same for the round win. Three 5.7 second runs took round wins all the way through.
Coleman Proctor did more than just team roping while in Guymon. Proctor is also a professional steer roper, and a very good one at that. He has had tons of success in this event as well, and Guymon is one of the great opportunities throughout the year to do both on the same stage. Proctor placed in a round of the Steer Roping at the Pioneer Days, and that was enough to give him the all around title.
Proctor went home the team roping and the all around champ while trying to make 2026 another great year. He is chasing his 10th NFR qualification, and is doing so with the legendary Travis Graves behind him on the heels. This year would mark 17 trips to the NFR for Graves.
Coleman has a great reputation as an all around hand. He is always one of the top picks at the Cinch Timed Event Championship, the Ironman of rodeo. He has long been known for his horsemanship and skills with a rope, and still to this day is one of the toughest in the game.
For veterans to come out with the win in Guymon is no surprise. This is not a typical set up, but Proctor and Graves have done this a time or two, and it showed through their smooth consistency.
Other events had similar stories, but there were some rookies breaking through as well.
If we take a look at the roughstock things, Carson Hildre was 87 points on Double J Rodeo Company's Cafe Risque to win the bareback riding title. In the saddle bronc, Wyatt Lavergne was 86.5 points on Frontier Rodeo's Ed Bishop for the win. Eyer Morrison took the bull riding title after being 87.5 points on Double J Rodeo Company's Aftershock.
The ladies also put together a show. Beau Peterson won the breakaway after her impressive consistency all week too. That money won in Guymon also counts towards Beau's circuit finals standings. In the barrel race, by almost a full tenth of a second the win went to Alyssa Urbanek-Wade with a 17.46.
On the roping end, the reining World Champion Cole Patterson secured the steer roping title. In the tie-down, it was Macon Murphy on top with 25.2 seconds on three head after winning the semi finals round with a 7.7.
The Pioneer Days is always a spring highlight rodeo. The Central Plains college region puts on their final college rodeo there the weekend before the pro rodeo begins. The arena is historic, and history continues to be made right there in Guymon.
