Fun Facts about Tanner: This is his fifth consecutive Wrangler National Finals qualification and eighth total for the former college champion. After success in high school rodeo, Tanner took his game to the next level at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge. He was one of the first competitors on the team of coach Bridget Coleman. Tanner was an advocate for her this year when she was selected as the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association’s Coach of the Year. After his stint at Fort Dodge, he transferred to Missouir Valley College who he won the national bareback riding championship for. He had a personal victory this year getting the win at his hometown rodeo, the Western Fest Stampede in June. His wife, Lonissa, and their three children, Bristol, Rowan and Ember were all cheering for Tanner. He was a little banged up at the end of the summer run and took some time to get physically and mentally prepared for the last weeks of the season. Now he is doing the same getting ready for the NFR.
