Jimmie Cooper is out of this year’s Timed Event Championship, marking the first time in more than two and a half decades that the world champion and ProRodeo Hall of Fame cowboy will not compete in the “Ironman” event of Pro Rodeo.
Cooper injured a shoulder while practicing Tuesday. He is a three-time winner of the Timed Event, earning the coveted title in 1988, 1992 and 1994.
He will be replaced by Clay Smith of Broken Bow, Okla.
