Schmidt Sits Out CTEC, Slade Wood Steps Up

Tough news for fans of Kolton Schmidt—after a stellar 2025 NFR run, the Canadian team roping ace is bowing out of the 2026 Cinch Timed Event Championship due to back issues. That means the Ironman grind is wide open for rookie Slade Wood, who’s got serious all-around chops and a big chance to make his mark. Who else is excited to see the Young Gun in action? #Sports #Rodeo #CTEC2026
