From the PRCA: PRCA trick roper Loop Rawlins of Tucson, Ariz., will appear on NBC’s America’s Got Talent on July 1, hoping to sufficiently impress judges Howard Stern, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Mel B to reach the Judgment Week round. “This was the last week of auditions,” Rawlins said, “so apparently they wanted to save the best for last.” The show’s producers contacted Rawlins after they saw him performing for Cirque du Soleil (2009-12), where he did a Western show, but were unable to work something out until this ninth season of the show. After joining the PRCA last year, Rawlins was recruited by clown/barrelman John Harrison to work the Oklahoma State Fair Rodeo and he has also appeared at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. Rawlins is the second PRCA trick roper to be a contestant on America’s Got Talent, following Anthony Lucia, who reached The Vegas Round in 2010.
