Eight Canadian Champions Named as Canadian Finals Rodeo Wraps Up 36th Year
[Nov. 16, 2009] Edmonton, AB – Rexall Place was a pressure cooker during the closing performance of the 36th Canadian Finals Rodeo (CFR).

The tightest race was in the saddle bronc riding, the classic event of rodeo. The first five rounds left seven contestants with a real shot at the Canadian championship, and only one taking home the title. After an intense performance where every single contestant gave it their all, Chet Johnson of Gilette, Wyo. Picked up his first Canadian title. Johnson, who's been rodeoing in Canada for the last five years, rode Outlawbucker's Miss Congeniality to second place in the final go. His score of 86-points earned him just enough to squeeze ahead of second place finisher Jim Berry (Rocky Mountain House, Alta.), and third place rider, and go-round winner, Dustin Flundra (Pincher Creek, Alta.).
