A former National High School Finals Champion Team Roper and a three-time qualifier to the College National Finals Rodeo, Seiler has been able to win at multiple levels and now enjoys describing the joy of victory and the heartbreak of defeat to rodeo spectators nationwide. His popularity as a rodeo announcer has grown by the year and he can be found each year at CNFR, RodeoHouston, The Clark County Fair & Rodeo, the Rooftop Rodeo and the Caldwell Night Rodeo.

A graduate of CSU Chico with a degree in Ag Business and former United States Marine, Goedert has always had a passion for ranching and the Western way of life. Raised in a ranching community and following in his grandfather's footsteps, he knew he wanted to be an auctioneer at an early age. He has spent most of his life in sale barns and working cattle. In 2008, he received his PRCA Card as an announcer and has announced rodeos and western sports throughout the United States. Both Seiler and Goedert have announced the Junior World Finals in Las Vegas since 2019.

Bentley serves as LVE’s Corporate Marketing Partnerships manager and Junior World Finals Assistant General Manager. A former member of the UNLV Rodeo Team, she is responsible for maintaining relationships with corporate partners as it pertains to the Wrangler NFR, The Cowboy Channel Cowboy Christmas and the YETI Junior World Finals. As the Junior World Finals Assistant General Manager, Bentley manages all social media handles, email communications to the event producers and an online registration process for the contestants.

“As part of LVE’s commitment to create compelling content for the Wrangler NFR, we are pleased to announce the next chapter of NFR Extra,” said Pat Christenson, president of Las Vegas Events. “For ten straight weeks, rodeo fans will have the opportunity to go behind the scenes with NFR Champions and personalities and stay informed on all the latest news from the road. With NFR Extra, it will deliver compelling news and insight from those within the rodeo industry.”

NFR Extra will return in the fall with ten additional episodes leading into the start of the Wrangler NFR.

Known as the richest and most prestigious rodeo in the world, the Wrangler NFR attracts the top 15 contestants in bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing and bull riding to compete for a share of the increased purse and the coveted PRCA Gold Buckle. In 2021, the event had a total attendance of 169,539 over the 10 days of competition at the Thomas & Mack Center and has sold out more than 340 consecutive performances in Las Vegas.
