Standings Shuffle: Shorty Garrett Breaks into Top 15

Shorty Garrett made his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in December.

After the weekend of May 13-16, he’s in position to make a return trip.

The 28-year-old saddle bronc rider earned $8,157 over the weekend to nearly double his season earnings. He rocketed nine spots in the PRCA | RAM World Standings, jumping from 24th to 15th, cracking that all-important demarcation line between inside the Top 15 and outside the Top 15.

More than half of that weekend money came from finishing second in the final round at the World Famous Miles City (Mont.) Bucking Horse Sale Matched Xtreme Broncs. He earned $4,050 in that round with an 89.5-point ride on J Bar J Rodeo’s Stacked Deck.

He earned another $1,822 in Miles City when he tied for fourth in the first round.

At his first NFR, the Eagle Butte, S.D., cowboy finished eighth in the Finals and 10th overall. He earned $28,615 at the Finals, finishing the season with $118,621.

Garrett wasn’t the only cowboy to jump nine spots among the Top 15. He was joined by steer roper Mike Chase, who won the average at the Walker County Fair & Pro Rodeo in Huntsville, Texas, over the weekend.
