PRCA Weekly Recap: Nov. 9-15
Mid-November could be considered the calm before the storm as the 2020 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo rapidly approaches. Meanwhile, the race is on for the 2021 Wrangler NFR so ProRodeo athletes cashed in at four competitions held Nov. 9-15.
The second week of November paid out a collective $141,708, bringing the 2021 season total to $1,668,363.
ProRodeo athletes brought their best knowing that world titles, circuit titles and future qualifications were on the line. Although the prize money differs from one competition to the next, the judging remains consistent.
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 last week.
