Between a Calgary Stampede that paid out $310,250 in breakaway money and a stacked slate of summer rodeos across Wyoming, Colorado and the Dakotas, we ran the numbers on what the Top 15 will look like once all of it posts.
No. 1 now belongs to Cheyanne McCartney, and it isn’t close. The Oklahoma cowgirl swept two rounds of Pool B, then closed the deal with a 2.7 in the Showdown worth $50,000—part of a $69,500 Calgary week that catapults her from No. 13 to the top of the world with a projected $124,189.26.
That knocks Hali Williams down to No. 2. Williams padded her season with a Sheridan average win, but a modest Calgary showing next to McCartney’s payday was enough to cost her the top spot heading into the back half of July.
