Top 15 Analysis

No. 1 – Hali Williams – $79,276.92

Hali Williams stayed home this weekend, but she didn’t need to go. Her lead is more than $25,000 over second, which doesn’t disappear in a weekend. She’s leading the way for the world title and the math still works heavily in her favor, but there is still a lot of year left.

No. 2 – Rylee George – $53,348.94

Rylee George also didn’t show up on any day sheets this weekend but held second—just barely.  She leads Taylor Munsell by a slight $25.46.

No. 3 – Taylor Munsell – $53,323.48

Munsell had a quiet weekend as well, so the gap to George held static. She trails by less than $36 and is knocking on the door of No. 2. The battle between No. 2 and 3 is one of the most fun subplots in the standings right now.

No. 4 – Jaci Hammons – $52,813.77 (+$1,336)

Jaci Hammons won the Mesquite Championship Rodeo with a 2.4-second run and is now $510 behind Munsell in third. She has been one of the most active rodeo-to-rodeo competitors on the road all season, and she’s peaking at the right time. If she keeps cashing checks at this pace, a top three spot is well within reach before the end of June.

No. 5 – Sawyer Gilbert – $49,744.52 (+$2,301)  ↑1

Gilbert made the trip to Belcourt, North Dakota, pay off in a big way, sharing the win at the Sky Dancer ProRodeo in a three-way tie with Sierra Lee and Keylee Zancanella at 2.5 seconds. The $2,301 check is enough to leap past Jordi Edens-Mitchell into the projected top five. She now trails Hammons by just over $3,000—well within striking distance for a cowgirl who is on a run.

No. 6 – Jordi Edens-Mitchell $47,898.14 ↓1

Jordi Edens-Mitchell had no earnings this weekend and drops one spot as Gilbert passes her. She still has a comfortable lead on Jill Tanner in seventh, but the gap to the top four is widening.

No. 7 – Jill Tanner – $45,738.08

Jill Tanner didn’t enter this weekend and holds seventh. The group from seventh through tenth is relatively spread out, so there’s no immediate pressure, but she’s within range of Edens-Mitchell above her if she strings together a few good weeks.

No. 8 – Cadee Williams – $37,858.52

No rodeo action this weekend for Cadee Williams. She holds eighth with nearly $8,400 on Josie Conner in ninth—a comfortable buffer for now, but the cowgirls below her in the bottom half of the top 15 are getting busy. The summer stretch has a way of reshuffling everything.

No. 9 – Josie Conner – $36,492.13

Josie Conner also appeared to stay home this weekend and holds ninth. She leads Danielle Lowman by $1,539.

No. 10 – Danielle Lowman – $34,953.20

No change for Danielle Lowman this weekend. Tenth place is hers, but Cheyanne McCartney is now less than $1,400 back after a big weekend in Big Spring. The pressure from below is real and getting more real by the week.

No. 11 – Cheyanne McCartney – $33,609.61 (+$2,685) ↑1

Cheyanne McCartney had herself a weekend at the Big Spring Cowboy Reunion, tying for second at 2.1 seconds to cash $2,685. That moves her past Beau Peterson and into the projected 11th place spot McCartney has been on a roll all spring with no signs of slowing down.

No. 12 – Beau Peterson – $32,458.37 ↓1

Beau Peterson had no weekend earnings and got passed by McCartney in the projected standings. The gap between Peterson and Jackie Crawford in 13th is just $328.

No. 13 – Jackie Crawford – $32,130.38 (+$2,278) ↑1

Jackie Crawford did exactly what she needed to do and doubled up. A $1,173 tie at Big Spring followed by a $1,105 runner-up check at Mesquite added up to $2,278 on the weekend, which is the best combined winnings of any currently ranked cowgirl in the top 20. She passed Aspen Miller into projected 13th and is just shy of Peterson. Another weekend like this and she’s knocking on the door of the top 10.

No. 14 – Aspen Miller $30,278.03 ↓1

Aspen Miller had no earnings this weekend and drops one spot as Crawford passes her. She still leads Kirby Rawlinson in 15th by $877. No red alerts, but the compression from 12 through 16 is real—and it’s only going to intensify as the summer run heats up.

No. 15 –Kirby Rawlinson $29,400.59

Kirby Rawlinson didn’t cash out this weekend but holds her projected 15th spot. She’s been one of the standout stories in the rookie standings this season, being No. 2 in the rookie race at $31,757. The world standings are starting to reflect that consistency. Fifteen through twenty is going to be a pressure cooker all summer.

The Cowgirls Outside the Top 25

Ashley Henderson ($2,329, Kissimmee, Florida), Libby Winchell ($2,707, Elizabeth, Colorado) and Makayla Boisjoli ($2,685, Big Spring, Texas) all cashed serious checks this weekend without a top 25 ranking behind them. If any of them are building toward a summer run, the standings picture could look very different by early July.
