The inaugural Kid Rock Rock N Rodeo team selection is complete, and the coaches have picked their players in the breakaway roping for the inaugural team event that is taking place on May 17, in Arlington, Texas.

Five of the six teams were selected based on a draft. The final team—the WCRA Free Riders—was built using champions from Rodeo Corpus Christi.

These are the teams, their coaches and athletes selected for each.

Wait…what is Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo? Great question, you can learn all of that here.

Convoy

(Head Coach Cody Ohl and Assistant Coach Saylor Ohl)

After the draft, the Convoy and Sledge Hammers executed the first and only athlete trade for Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo. Convoy picked Shad Mayfield third overall and traded him to the Sledge Hammers for Riley Webb, the No. 15 overall selection.

Together, the team holds eight world titles, with Angelone being the only breakaway athlete selected in the first 37 picks.

Jokers 

(Head Coach Sid Steiner and Assistant Coach Joe Beaver)

Head Coach Steiner led the Jokers to secure the No. 1 pick in the Kid Rock N Rodeo draft through strategic trades with Misty Mountain Hop. He drafted his son, Rocker Steiner, and later selected his daughter Steely. With three-time World Champion barrel racer Pozzi Tonozzi, the Jokers lead the teams with 117 NFR appearances and 18 aggregate wins, including reigning NFBR Average Champion Cheyenne McCartney.

Low Riders 

(Head Coach Trevor Brazile and Assistant Coach Dale Brisby)

Anchored by veteran contenders including 2022 NFBR World Champion Martha Angelone, gunslinger Kelsie Domer, four-time World Champions Sherry Cervi and Tuf Cooper, the Low Riders have had a consistent presence at the NFR, with a combined 94 qualifications and six aggregate wins.

Misty Mountain Hop 

(Head Coach Charmayne James and Assistant Coach Justin McKee)

Head Coach Charmayne James and Assistant Coach McKee orchestrated crucial trades before the draft, allowing them to assemble over half of their roster within the first 22 picks.

On the breakaway front, Misty Mountain Hop may have the most momentum. Both Jordan Jo Hollabaugh and Danielle Lowman have had excellent 2024 seasons so far, with Lowman sitting No. 2 in the world and Hollabaugh sitting No. 11.

Sledge Hammers 

(Head Coach Fred Whitfield and Assistant Coach Curtis Pederson)

Whitfield and Pederson’s Sledge Hammers are anchored by World Champion Mayfield, alongside the team’s first selection in three-time NFR qualifying tie-down roper Douch.

In breakaway, the Sledge Hammers have 2023 breakout star Maddy Deerman and throw-at-the-barrier Taylor Munsell in their lineup. Overall, the Sledge Hammers have assembled a young roster ready to make waves.

Free Riders

The final team for Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo, the Free Riders, led by Head Coach Bobby Mote and Assistant Coach Linsay Rosser-Sumpter, was formed following conclusion of the WCRA’s (World Champions Rodeo Alliance) Rodeo Corpus Christi on May 11 in Corpus Christi, Texas. The top two finishers in each discipline at the event not already selected by one of the Rock N Rodeo teams joined the Free Riders.
