This week: August 10-16 results and world standings
Table of contents
Largest single-rodeo barrel racing payouts, Aug. 3-9, from unofficial ProRodeo results. Nine of the 10 came out of the week’s three Playoff Series rodeos.
This week’s top money earners
Total barrel racing money won at ProRodeo events that finished Aug. 3-9, regardless of where a rider sits in the world standings.
The single largest payout in the country went to Emma Ricke, who won the Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo in 16.03. Graham won the richest barrel race on the schedule at Lovington, and Aldridge won Cache County. Nine of the week’s 10 biggest checks came out of the three Playoff Series stops.
Total unofficial barrel racing earnings from ProRodeo events completed Aug. 3-9. Kylie Wells cashed the most checks of anyone in the country with five.
Projected world standings: top 50
Aldridge rides into the top 15
The most consequential run of the week was Tricia Aldridge‘s. She won Cache County at Logan for $6,789, and that check carried her into No. 15 at $82,086. A week ago she sat 16th, $328 outside it.
She has room now, but the chase behind her is stacked: Summer Kosel, Loralee Ward and Brittany Pozzi Tonozzi are separated by $1,524.
Beisel to third as the top five tightens
Gibson-Stillwell remains the woman to beat. She cashed twice on the week, at Logan and Coalville, and pushed her projected total to $182,605. Behind her the top five is the closest it has been all season: Kassie Mowry, Emily Beisel, Hailey Kinsel and Carlee Otero are stacked inside $2,941.
The mover was Beisel. She was second to Graham at Lovington for $5,893, then added checks at Lawton and Will Rogers to close the week at $8,694 and climb from fifth to third, her best position of the season. Mowry moved up to second on $1,964 of her own.
Graham wins the richest one, Jurgens banks the steadiest
The biggest week in the country belonged to Graham, who won the Lea County PRCA Rodeo at Lovington in 17.13 for $7,366 and backed it up with a fourth at Cache County. Her $10,760 lifted her past Tayla Moeykens and into a projected seventh at $115,633. Graham has now won two of the summer’s richest barrel races inside eight days, Heber City on Aug. 1 and Lovington on Aug. 8.
The second-biggest week belonged to a rider who never took a victory lap. Raelin Jurgens cashed at four rodeos, fourth at Lea County, seventh at Sikeston, second at Lawton and sixth at Will Rogers, for $9,609, and climbed six spots to 23rd without a single win. Lisa Lockhart put together the most complete week in the top 15, winning Bear Paw and placing at Bozeman, Cascade and Larimer County for $7,869. Morgan Addison made the biggest jump of anyone, 43rd to 34th on an $8,719 week, and three riders forced their way into the top 50: Emma Smith from 56th, KariAnn Cross from 51st and Caitlyn White from 54th.
Our projected board, built on the WPRA’s posted world standings. The middle column fills in as rodeos go final, and the projected total moves with it. *ALL EARNINGS UNOFFICIAL FOR THIS WEEK*
Final for the week of August 3-9. “Entering the week” is the WPRA’s posted world standings through August 3, and “move” is the change against that board. Money counted is from rodeos that finished with payouts posted; the Kimball-Banner barrel race is still outstanding.

How we build this board
Our world standings board is unofficial and projected. It starts from the WPRA’s posted world standings and adds the money the official board has not yet reflected, rodeo by rodeo, as results post on prorodeo.com. Canadian CPRA earnings do not count toward the WPRA world standings unless the rodeo is co-approved by the PRCA and posts to prorodeo.com, in which case the money counts. Canadian-only stops appear in the results above but not in the money column.
