When the best in the rodeo world gather each spring in Guymon, Oklahoma, they know they're in for a true test of grit and skill. The Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo isn't just another stop on the circuit—it's a legendary event where the cattle run big, the score is long, and the arena stretches wide open. This year, with the rodeo also serving as part of the PRCA Playoff Series, the stakes were even higher. And in 2026, one cowboy proved he's built for the challenge: Coleman Proctor.

Proctor, best known as a team roping header, arrived in Guymon with a clear mission. Partnering with the legendary Travis Graves, the duo didn't just compete—they dominated. With no round wins to their name, they relied on steady, consistent roping to claim the team roping average title with a time of 21.1 seconds on three steers. For both Oklahoma natives, the victory carried an extra dose of hometown pride.

The competition was fierce from the start. Luke Brown and Buddy Hawkins II kicked things off with a blazing 5.7-second run in the first round. Shay Dixon Carroll and Denton Dunning matched that pace in round two, while Jake Clay and Whip Peterson repeated the feat in the semi-finals. Three rounds, three 5.7-second wins—but in the end, it was Proctor and Graves who walked away with the overall title.

But Proctor wasn't done yet. A seasoned steer roper with a reputation for versatility, he seized the opportunity to compete in both events on the same stage—a rare chance that Guymon offers. By placing in a round of the steer roping, he added enough points to claim the all-around championship, cementing his weekend as one for the books.

For Proctor, 2026 is shaping up to be another milestone year. He's chasing his 10th qualification for the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), and he's doing it alongside Travis Graves, who would be making his 17th NFR appearance. Together, they're a force to be reckoned with.

Coleman Proctor has long been celebrated as one of the sport's most versatile hands. A perennial top pick at the Cinch Timed Event Championship—often called the Ironman of rodeo—he's earned a reputation for exceptional horsemanship and roping skill. Seeing a veteran like him rise to the top at Guymon is no surprise. In a rodeo that demands everything from its competitors, Proctor and Graves proved they still have what it takes to come out on top.
