After introducing women’s breakaway roping in 2019, RFD-TV’s The American has now had two breakaway roping champions…and they were both under 20 at the time that they won.

Last year, Madison Outhier became the first The American breakaway roping champion at the age of 17.

In 2020, 19-year-old Kaycee Hollingback earned the breakaway roping champion title with her time of 2.17.

Conspiracy theory: there’s something about the teenage years that makes you amazing at breakaway roping. Just think about it.
