Weekly Recap

Veterans Day weekend was a lucrative one for rookies and seasoned cowboys alike with $421,582 on the table across four PRCA competitions Nov. 5-11. So far, the 2019 season has added up to $2,864,819 in prize money across 40 competitions.

The fastest times and highest scores might not always make the record book, but they 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.

In addition to the fame that comes with winning the most prize money, 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.
