The 2023 ProRodeo Breakaway Circuits are gathering steam and, in each of those 13 WPRA circuits, some leaders are in more tenuous positions than others.
In Texas, a mere $26 separates the No. 1 and No. 2 players on the ProRodeo world standings, Hali Williams and Martha Angelone.
Meanwhile in California, Hanna Hundsdorfer commands her lead over the next-closest roper by nearly $5,000.
