Rich Skelton (born June 18, 1966) is an American former professional rodeo cowboy who specialized in team roping.
[2] When Skelton was growing up, he spent every free minute he had perfecting his roping skills.
[5] In 1997, Woolman reduced his schedule, so Skelton teamed up with header hall of famer Speed Williams.
The highlight, though, are the eight consecutive team roping world championships which he and Williams earned in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004.
