Headliners Martha Angelone, Jackie Crawford and more

All eyes are once again on Martha Angelone, who delivered a stunning, record-breaking performance last year to clinch her second consecutive WRWC All-Around World Championship. Finishing 8,845 points ahead her closest competitor, Jackie Crawford, Angelone earned the all-around title and a $20,000 bonus. A true rodeo powerhouse, Angelone returns in 2025 as a multi-event competitor, entered in team roping heading and heeling, and breakaway roping, all at the Pro level. She currently leads the 2025 All-Around race by more than 13,000 points.

Angelone is joined by fellow multi-event athletes including Crawford, her sister Sarah Angelone, and Kelsie Domer—all competing in both breakaway and team roping.

Crawford, a WRWC legend and 2021 All-Around Champion, returns as both a Pro breakaway roper and Pro heeler. Sarah Angelone, another double-threat in the Pro division, is entered as both a header and heeler in team roping, in addition to breakaway. Domer, one of the most versatile competitors in the field, will again compete in breakaway roping and team roping heeling as a Pro.

The roster also boasts strong family representation. Katelyn Perkins is entered in both barrel racing (Challenger) and team roping heading (Pro), while her mother Shanna Perkins will also compete in both disciplines at the Challenger level. Shanna’s daughter and Katelyn’s sister, Kayla Perkins, joins them in team roping heeling (Challenger)—making them one of the WRWC’s standout family trios.

Katelyn Perkins is the lone athlete competing in four disciplines at this year’s event—Pro Heading, Challenger Heeling, Challenger Breakaway Roping, and Limited Barrel Racing. She leads a dynamic field of multi-event competitors, including eight athletes entered in three disciplines and an impressive 32 athletes competing in two.

At 52 years old, Lari Dee Guy—a legend in the roping world and one of the most decorated women in the sport with nine World Championships —continues to break barriers and inspire the next generation. This year, she’ll team up with 17-year-old Kaitlyn Torres (Alice, Texas) in the team roping (Pro), forming a cross-generational duo that blends experience and emerging talent. Torres, a standout young contender, will compete in both the heading and heeling roles as a multi-event athlete.

The breakaway roping field has the most depth WRWC has seen to date, headlined by reigning Pro World Champion Martha Angelone and Challenger Division Champion Kiely Walz (Ainsworth, Nebraska). Martha Angelone returns following her ferocious 2024 campaign, which included a 1.96-second run that vaulted her to the top of the leaderboard, edging past Jordan Jo Hollabaugh (Springtown, Texas). But it was Amy Ohrt (Victoria, Texas) —then just 18— who delivered the fastest time of the week, a blistering 1.76-second run that earned her more than $61,900 during a breakout event winning performance.

WRWC Smarty Rodeo Goat Tying Showcase

The WRWC Smarty Rodeo Goat Tying Showcase, set for May 13, adds a fast-paced and technical layer to the competition. Promising athletes like Haiden Thompson (Yoder, Wyoming) and Jacée Graff (St. George, Utah) are expected to be top podium contenders in this explosive specialty event.

Additionally, for the third consecutive season, the WRWC has united with the Ariat Texas Rattlers from the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Teams league to honor Texas resident cowgirls competing at the 2025 event. The Honorary Texas Rattlers Cowgirl Cash Bonus Award will be presented to the Texas resident cowgirl who earns the most points in any one discipline at the Women’s Rodeo World Championship. These women will be distinguished by a Team Texas patch worn while competing. Past recipients of this bonus include Laura Mote in 2023 and Makenzie Mayes in 2024.

WRWC Schedule Overview

The 2025 Women’s Rodeo World Championship will officially kick off on Sunday, May 11, with the Tito’s Welcome Gala and Back Number Ceremony, presented by Cowgirl Magazine, at 6 p.m. CT at Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall.
