Weekly Recap

Cowboy Christmas is over, but PRCA competition kept up the pace during the second week of July, as many of this week’s top scores and times came from the same competitors as last week’s.

The fastest times and highest scores might not always make the record book, but they certainly make a lasting memory for fans and competitors. With about 650 PRCA competitions across the Western Hemisphere each year, there are plenty of opportunities to make a memorable ride.

Although the prize money differs from one competition to the next, the judging remains consistent across the board.

There were 28 PRCA competitions July 9-15, and each ride was a chance to be the best of the week. Here’s a look at the highest scores and fastest times for each event during that period.

Bareback riders Clayton Biglow and Wyatt Denny each made 88-point rides at the Sheridan WYO Rodeo, July 12. Biglow’s ride was on Dakota Rodeo’s War Rock and Denny’s ride was on Sankey Pro Rodeo & Robinson Bulls’ Sozo.

For the second week in a row, steer wrestler Will Lummus produced the fastest time. On July 6, he made a 3.2-second run at Estes Park, Colo. On July 11, he clocked in at 3.7 seconds at the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo in Colorado Springs, Colo.
