Summarize: What happened this week
On the Inside but Not Safe (12–14)
No. 12 – Suzanne Williams – $105,008 (previously 11th)
- Slid back one spot after Brennise’s big Mandan payday.
- Margin above the cutline is slim. How peers perform in Sioux Falls will be crucial.
- Sioux Falls: No
No. 13 – Bradi Good – $100,080 (steady at 13th)
- Amarillo: 9th tie, $760.
- Tyler: 5th tie, $1,063.
- Crossed six figures but remains on the bubble.
- Sioux Falls: No
No. 14 – Macy Young – $99,894 (holding at 14th)
- Amarillo: 4th place, $2,171.
- That Amarillo check kept her above water, and a Sioux Falls qualification is a welcome opportunity.

The Cutline Seats (15–17)
No. 15 – Jenna Dallyn – $93,101 (holding 15th)

- Sioux Falls: No
No. 16 – Erin Johnson – $89,725 (steady at 16th)
- No earnings this weekend.
- On the wrong side of the line without a chance like Sioux Falls for big money. Will need to hit the road hard for the last week of the ProRodeo season.
- Sioux Falls: No
No. 17 – Rickie Fanning – $77,614 (up from 20th)
- Mandan: Split 3rd, $6,069.

Long Shots (18–20)
No. 18 – Kelsie Domer – $77,080 (down from 17th)
- Tyler: Split 5th, $1,063.
