Cheyenne, Wyoming’s equal-added money payout meant that breakaway ropers like Macy Young jumped over 60 spots in the world standings in one week, but how did it move the ladies inside the top 15, and those on the outside looking in?
BRJ broke down the standings to see who appears to have already solidified their positions to compete in the NFBR in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 29-30, 2022, who has a solid chance, and who is on the outside looking in as the standings look on August 2, 2022.
Worth noting: Unlike the rest of the events in ProRodeo, the breakaway ropers have no rodeo limit. So some are trying to hit as many as possible to stay safe, while others are pulling back with fuel prices topping $5 per gallon in many parts of the country.
🟢 Green Zone 🟢
These are the cowgirls who sit atop the world, literally. With less than two months remaining in the ProRodeo season, these are the ladies who have a pretty good chance at staying inside the top 15 as their money stands currently.
