23x World Champion Jackie Crawford Inducted into Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame
A record setting and history making career, rare versatility, and a lasting impact on the sport, Jackie Crawford’s legacy is now officially among Texas’ greatest.
There are many cowgirls who have made milestones in rodeo, and there are a few careers that have completely redefined success in the industry. Jackie Crawford has done both. The 23 time World Champion was recently inducted into the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame.
Although not originally from the Lone Star State, Jackie now resides in Stephenville, Texas with her husband Charly Crawford and two kids. An Industry Changing Career Crawford’s 23 world titles didn’t come from just the breakaway roping, though she may be most well known in that lane. When Jackie first started roping, a lady could only go so far with a rope, and the breakaway just was not the way to win money.
She did a little bit of it all. She’s won world championships in breakaway roping, team roping, tie-down roping, and the all-around. Jackie has built one of the most versatile and impressive résumés the sport has ever seen, not just because she is a girl either.
Her titles span decades. In 2008 she would win her first two World Titles in the tie-down roping and all around. In 2011 she added the team roping on the heading side.
