Eighteen-year-old Noah Lee electrifies the arena with a thrilling 90.5-point ride, clinching a massive victory and a substantial payout at Bullnanza.
The Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma, was full of electric bull rides this past weekend as Bullnanza took over the arena.
Hosted by McCoy Rodeo, Bullnanza features some of the top bulls in the country and in turn draws the toughest cowboys looking to score a good ride.
The payout was big, offering a total of $42,770, and the boys worked hard to earn it, battling for their 8 seconds of glory.
The first place cowboy was a young gun out of Weatherford, Texas. Noah Lee is 18 years old and has been building a name for himself since he was riding mini bulls as a kid. His dad, Mike Lee, is a famous bull rider and so Noah is no stranger to the sport and is able to get tips and coaching from some of the best in the business. Lee just recently made his PBR debut and is continuing the momentum of his big year on bulls.
Lee’s win at Bullnanza came from a 90.5 point ride on McCoy Rodeo’s The Hondo, earning him $12,831.
Just behind Lee in second place was Canadian cowboy Jhett Wheeler with a 90 point ride and a $9,837 payout. Wheeler competes in the PBR and in the Canadian PBR, and his previous high point ride was an 84.7, so this ride set a new personal record for the cowboy.
Third place was Rawley Johnson with an 89 point ride and a $7,271 payout. Johnson is fresh off his first National Finals Rodeo (NFR) appearance in 2025, where he suffered a scary accident and was unable to continue to compete due to a concussion.
Fourth place went to Dakota Hill with an 87 point ride and a $4,705 payout. Hill is a 23 year old Texan who makes the rounds on the PBR circuit. His previous PBR high point ride was an 86 point ride, so this sets a new personal record for him as well. Fifth place was a tie between Qynn Andersen and Jesse Petri, both with 86 point rides and an individual payout of $2,566. 7th place was also a tie with Kaleb Lewis and Lucas Mooningham earning $1,497 each for their 85.5 point rides.
Bullfighters Tucker Macwilliam, Jarrett Moyer, and Dakota Knight worked hard to keep the cowboys safe alongside the rest of the McCoy rodeo team.
In a special add-on event, two young twin sisters from Kansas, the Eilert twins, rode bulls and showed off their skills to an enamored crowd. These young women show they belong right in the arena alongside the men and are as tough as they come. They had good rides on their bulls and kept the crowd on the edge of their seats.
McCoy Rodeo provided tough stock, but equally tough cowboys showed up. This provided the perfect pairing for dynamic rides and edge of your seat action. The cowboys and bulls all left with a little more determination in their step, and for some of the cowboys, a little extra money in their pocket when they left Oklahoma.
