Stran Smith
In a career spanning 15 years in the PRCA, 2008 World Champion Tie-Down roper, Stran Smith has shown the attitude and resolve of a winner, even through heartbreaking loss and hardship. As a 10-time qualifier for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and national pitchman for both "Wrangler Jeans & Shirts" and "Ariat Boots", Stran has made success look easy. Stran's hardships have included the loss of both a best friend and his favorite horse in separate traffic accidents and personally suffering a slew of career-threatening injuries to his knee, shoulder and heart. Through it all he has persevered with the help of his deep faith in Christ and the support of his beloved wife Jennifer and their two sons, Stone and Scout. In an ending only the Lord could script, Jennifer interviewed Stran for the ESPN broadcast and was the one who informed him he had won the world championship. "I've never wanted my ability to take me somewhere that my character couldn't keep me. That's always been my goal. This is just the right time. I wouldn't be half the person I am now if I'd won it way back when. I see how much further I've come physically and spiritually. And to be a man of honor and integrity is first and foremost."
