Coleman Proctor is no stranger to high-stakes competition. Now a nine-time WNFR qualifier and the 2019 RFDTV’s The American winner, the Pryor, OK, cowboy enters the Thomas and Mack arena fourth in the team roping header standings with $155,790. A member of the PRCA since 2004, the 39-year-old roper has a career earnings exceeding $1.5 million. Coleman’s team roping partner, Logan Medlin of Tatum, N.M., sits fifth in the heeler standings with $142,557. This is their fourth year backing into the box at the WNFR together.
While Coleman nearly made it into the National Finals Steer Roping, finishing just out of the running in 17th place, his efforts in the event propelled him into third place in the world all-around standings. He sits roughly $5,000 behind fellow team roping header Junior Nogueira in second place. Both ropers have some ground to cover to reach Shad Mayfield’s $224,412 in first.
Coleman has about ten horses in rotation who have carried him to another crack at a gold buckle—or two—this season. He plans to ride his faithful gelding Heisman at the Finals. Coleman’s horsepower helped him win the all-around at several rodeos this year, including his second all-around title at Cheyenne Frontier Days, along with the Pendleton Round-Up and the Ram Prairie Circuit Finals. Coleman also won the team roping at the Ram Prairie Circuit Finals with Logan Medlin, along with five other rodeos throughout the season.
