Weekly Recap

Cowboy Christmas is prime time to score big, run fast and collect the most prize money in a short amount of time. The first week of July is the pinnacle of PRCA regular-season competition, and the cowboys brought their best.

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 34 PRCA competitions July 2-8, several of which are still underway, 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 rider Richmond Champion made a 91-point ride on Powder River Rodeo’s Craig At Midnight during the Black Hills Roundup in Belle Fourche, S.D., July 4.

Steer wrestler Will Lummus clocked in at 3.2 seconds at the Rooftop Rodeo in Estes Park, Colo., July 6.
