Dustin Elliott is one of CSC’s greatest Cowboys. As a sophomore, Elliott qualified for the national finals by placing second in the regional standings, and then won the championship at the college finals in Casper, Wyoming. He was the only entry
among the 48 national qualifiers to stay aboard all four of his bulls the required eight seconds.
During his collegiate career, Elliott rode 47 of the 77 bulls he drew. He also frequently competed at other rodeos. Just days before he and Cynthia, whom he met at CSC, were married in May 2003, he scored 84 points to win the bull riding at a PRCA
rodeo in Kansas City.
That encouraged him to hit the big time. Just a year after he had concluded his college career, he was the PRCA world champion and rode 73 percent of his bulls. The next two years, he rode approximately 60 percent of his bulls and finished fourth in the world standings.
In 2006 he cut back his travel schedule to help raise his children, but he made it back to the Wrangler PRCA Finals in Las Vegas in 2010, when he also was a qualifier in the Pro Bull Rider Finals.
He lives with his wife Cynthia and their twins Ethan and Emma at North Platte, Nebraska, where he owns some ranch land, has haying and trucking businesses and coaches the community college rodeo team.
