Taylor Munsell just set a new standard in ProRodeo breakaway roping—and she’s breaking it all down on the latest episode of The Breakaway Breakdown podcast.
Over the weekend of May 31–June 1, 2025, Munsell became the fastest breakaway roper in history to surpass $100,000 in a single ProRodeo season.
With wins in Mt. Pleasant, Texas (1.9 seconds), and Durant, Oklahoma (2.3 seconds), plus a tie for fifth with a 2.4-second run in Hugo, Oklahoma, Munsell added $5,918 to her earnings—vaulting her past the six-figure mark before the summer run has officially begun.

For perspective, rodeo legends Jackie Crawford and Hali Williams each reached the $100K threshold in 2024 and 2023—but not until late July and late June, respectively. Munsell’s early dominance sets a blistering pace for the field and raises the bar heading into the heart of rodeo season.
