PRCA Weekly Recap: Sept. 8-13

The RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo proved to be worth the wait, as the top contenders from each circuit congregated in Greeley, Colo., for a $388,000 competition.

Overall, the week of Sept. 8-13 had 10 ProRodeo competitions worth a collective $644,940, and although Greeley was the place to win big, several of the fastest runs and highest scores of the week were achieved at other rodeos.

While these rides and runs might not always make the record book, they make a lasting memory for fans and competitors.

With hundreds of PRCA competitions across the Western Hemisphere, 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 held Sept. 8-13.

Bareback rider Blaine Kaufman won the semifinals in Greeley with a 90.5-point ride on Pete Carr Pro Rodeo’s San Angelo Sam, Sept. 13.
