Thousands Flock To Shawnee For 33rd Annual International Finals Youth Rodeo

The International Finals Youth Rodeo, held at the Heart of Oklahoma Exposition Center in Shawnee, is the ultimate competition for youth rodeo stars.

Through six days of events, there are performances twice a day in three arenas with events running simultaneously.

There are more than 1,000 entries from 35 different states and provinces. The contestants are competing for titles and cash prizes. In 2024, the IFYR awarded nearly $250,000 in cash and prizes. 

Headlining the competition is reigning All-Around Cowgirl Kasey Bass, who looks to repeat last year’s success. Other returning champions include barrel racer Patton Ann Lynch, breakaway roper Bleu Hall, saddle bronc rider Colt Bass and bull rider Jack Mitchell.
