Weekly Money Leaders
These figures cover the full calendar week, Aug. 24-30, and count U.S. ProRodeo money only. Kylie Whiteside’s $2,080.93 for winning Nanton, Alberta, is the week’s biggest Canadian check and is counted in the projection below, not in this table.
Josie Conner’s $11,706 came out of Kennewick and Tremonton—she won the finals and the average at Kennewick for $6,274, then tied Rylee George for second at Tremonton at $5,432 apiece. Hali Williams cashed at the same two rodeos for $8,658. In all, 15 rodeos paid $219,126 in breakaway money on the week, $9,047.45 of it at Nanton, Alberta, Canada.
Projected Top 20
These numbers are projected, not official. The baseline is the WPRA official file stamped Aug. 26, 2026, which reconciles through Aug. 23; every payout from rodeos concluding Aug. 24-30 is added on top, including Jenna Dallyn’s $1,673.76 share at Nanton. Movement is measured against that official file.
Conner’s week moves her past Taylor Munsell and Cadee Williams into a projected No. 4, and Lowman’s moves her past Cadee Williams and Jordi Edens-Mitchell. Cheyanne McCartney added $4,512 at Bremerton, but Hali Williams’ $8,658 cuts the lead at the top from an official $22,074.52 to a projected $17,928.52.
The Bubble
The No. 15 hole changes hands. Beau Peterson’s $4,736 week—$2,835 at Rapid City, South Dakota, plus checks at Bremerton and Kennewick—lifts her to a projected $83,975.09 and past Sawyer Gilbert, who won $2,331 and holds a projected No. 15 at $83,558.74. Only $416.35 separates the two.
Shelby Boisjoli-Meged’s $694 at Bremerton leaves her a projected No. 16, $5,178.04 behind Gilbert, after closing to within $1,457.06 a week ago.
The Rest of the Week
The rodeo and money stayed in the Northwest this week. Kennewick, Bremerton, Tremonton and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, combined for the bulk of the $219,126, and every one of the week’s top five earners cashed at Tremonton, Bremerton or both.
Danielle Wray’s $3,910 for winning Rapid City was the biggest check outside those four, and Cheyanne McCartney’s $4,512 at Bremerton was her only money of the week. At Nanton, Whiteside’s 2.3 won it, and Dallyn’s second-place tie there plus a check at Coeur d’Alene holds her at a projected No. 13.
The Playoff Three
Three of the week’s 15 paying rodeos were Cinch Playoff Series rodeos—Kennewick, Bremerton and Tremonton. With Puyallup’s qualifier window already closed, they are now pushing for the Governor’s Cup in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
That deadline is set for Monday, Sept. 21 and the top eight cowgirls on that date are who go straight to the Governor’s Cup, Sept. 25-27, and these three are the first Playoff Series rodeos to count toward it.
Projected, not official. Baseline is WPRA’s Playoff Series breakaway file stamped Aug. 24; points from Kennewick, Bremerton and Tremonton are added on top.
Hali Williams made the biggest climb, up three to a projected No. 3 on 105.50 points between Kennewick and Tremonton. Jordi Edens-Mitchell slid three to a projected No. 7 even with a Bremerton check, and Conner pushed the series lead past 1,000 points.
One variable is open. Points scale to a rodeo’s payout level, and Kennewick’s purse sits between the two levels BRJ could verify against WPRA’s file. Run Kennewick at the higher level and Haiden Thompson climbs to a projected No. 4 instead of No. 6, ahead of Cheyanne McCartney and Rylee George. The eight names hold either way, and so does every figure for Good, Ohrt, Gilbert and the cut line.
Ellensburg and Walla Walla, Washington, are next on the Playoff Series schedule, and everything from Kennewick forward gets sorted before the Sept. 21 cutoff.
