As the regular season comes to a close and cowboys head home, the top 15 on each side of the PRCA world standings are set to prepare for their trip to Las Vegas, Nev. come December.
Kaleb Driggers and Junior Noguiera, who have been giving Rogers and Petska a run for their money at the top of the leader board, each banked $4,872 after the final weekend of the regular season rodeos to move them back into the number-one spot. At the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Premier Rodeo WCC Finale, their team took home fifth place after turing in a time of 20.2-seconds worth $928 a man. Then onto another round at the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Premier Rodeo WCC Finale, the duo took home the number-one spot with a time of 4.2-seconds to add $3,944 to each man’s total earnings.
Coleman Proctor and Billie Jack Saebens moved into the top five in the PRCA world standings after adding $6,960 to each of their total earnings. Their team took home the first-place spot at Sioux Falls (S.D.) Premier Rodeo WCC Finale with a 4.9-second run, to take home $3,944 each. Then again at the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Premier Rodeo WCC Finale, the duo placed second with a 4.3-second run to add an additional $3,016 to each man’s earnings.
Levi Simpson and Jeremy Buhler had a fair weekend after placing third at the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Premier Rodeo WCC Finale with a 5.5-second run worth $2,204 each and tying for fifth with Cody Snow and Wesley Thorp with a 5.7-second run at the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Premier Rodeo WCC Finale to add $464 to each’s earnings. Although the total earnings of $2,668 for each man’s paychecks wasn’t enough to move Simpson into the top 15 in the world standings, unofficially we can say will be seeing Buhler in the bright lights of Las Vegas (Nev.) come December.
Cody Snow and Wesley Thorp jumped back into the top 10 after banking $3,091 each. At the Pasadena (Texas) Livestock Show & Rodeo their team won second in the first round with a 4.9-second run, worth $1,201 each.
