It has been a trying season for record-setting tie-down roper Cody Ohl, but he got a boost Saturday night in Caldwell with one of his heroes in the stands.
Ohl, a six-time world champion, entered the final round at the Caldwell Night Rodeo ranked 48th in the Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association standings, battling knee and hamstring injuries since June’s Reno Rodeo.
Feeling as good as he has in two months, Ohl won the CNR championship with a 25.1-second total on three head.
When given the set of spurs presented to the winners, the Hico, Texas, cowboy handed them to 85-year-old Dean Oliver. An eight-time world champion roper, Oliver is a Greenleaf native.
“I think about him all the time. It makes me try harder knowing my hero, my everything is there coming out to see me rope,” Ohl said.
A “roller coaster” summer hit a high point with Ohl’s win Saturday, considering his health returning to normal, one of his idols on hand and the pivotal late-season timing.
“It couldn’t have come at a better time,” he said. “... This is my favorite rodeo to be at on a Saturday night. It’s how it should be.”
Though Ohl’s had a tough season, most of the rodeo’s winners continued to climb in the top 10 of the world rankings.

I would say Dean is a pretty good idol to have. Cody is the definition of competitor.

those two are probably the best athletes of the top 5 of all time. Dean joined a country club in boise and in less than a year he won the club championship, having never picked up a club before. cody was an Allstate running back in high school..who would be in ya'lls top 5 calf ropers?..mine would be toots Mansfield, Ohl, Oliver, Beaver, and Whitfield in no particular order.

That will open the door for discussion. I think I would be hard pressed not to have Roy in there and who knows how much Phil Lyne could have won had he stayed hooked at rodeo.

Phil would be one of my choices of top 5, but I am not looking at the number of championships as a factor. With Phil winning it that year and getting mounted at every rodeo is impressive.
