Riley Webb roped his way to another Puyallup title Saturday, stopping the clock at 7.3 seconds in a muddy final four to bank $18,726, push his regular-season total to a record $318,209 and became the youngest to cross $2 million in PRCA career earnings—86 days quicker than Stetson Wright set.

“I love that rodeo,” Webb said. “Once you get to the Northwest, there’s a lot of good rodeos, but that’s kind of the cherry on top. You’re waitin’ for that one, and hopefully you’re hittin’ big, and you go at it kind of like an NFR or a Sioux Falls. You’ve got to prepare like it’s another major, which it is.”

Lucky Number Three

Webb kicked off Set 2 by splitting the go-round with Shad Mayfield at 8.3 seconds, worth $3,071 apiece, then came back with a 9.1 to place third in the second round for another $1,755 and stack a 17.4 on two head. In the semifinals he stopped the clock at 8.0 seconds to advance, and in the final four he saved his best run for last—a 7.3 to beat Trevor Hale (8.4), Ty Harris (10.0) and Mayfield in the championship round.

The mud was the trickiest part of the weekend, but Webb had a jump on it. He rode Lights On CD, “Patron” in the final four after testing his mudder abilities the week before in Ellensburg.

“I was glad I got to ride him at Ellensburg the week before—it rained, and I got to try him out the first time in the mud, and he did great,” Webb said. “I made a good run, and it wasn’t too deep, it just was wet. And that short final-four calf, I didn’t think it mattered if it was dry or wet. That calf was good enough to tie in seven in any condition.”

This Puyallup win was a little extra sweet for Webb. He and fiancée Josie Conner both took home the wins—a rare thing for two ropers who spend the year chasing the same goals.

“Usually if she wins, I do something to mess up winning, or if I do good, she messes up,” Webb said. “So it’s pretty cool that we both won the same day at a big rodeo. We get to go all year together in two rigs, and then we get to go in one sometimes. We’re home practicing together and pushing each other to get better every day. We’ve got the same goals.”

A New Regular-Season Earnings Record

The Puyallup check pushed Webb to $318,209 on the season—a new regular-season earnings record, and a record he took from himself. It also keeps him squarely in the hunt for a fourth straight gold buckle, a chase he doesn’t spend much time bragging about.

“I dreamed of being a world champion and doing these things, but it happened so early in my career,” Webb said. “Being able to back it up every day and do my job and get to rope for a living is so cool.”

The part he will talk about is the work behind it—the constant hunt for one more good horse and one more edge.

“Every day you’ve got to strive to get better and try to find a better horse,” Webb said. “I’m always looking for the next best thing to add to my group of horses. There’s always someone behind you that’s gonna be pushing you to get better and try to make a move. So you’ve got to keep your foot on the gas and try to make the best version of yourself every day.”

Youngest to $2 Million in PRCA History

Winning Puyallup did more than pad his season earnings—it made Webb the youngest athlete ever to $2 million in career earnings. He crossed the mark at Puyallup on Sept. 12 at 23 years, 39 days old. Stetson Wright previously had the record since Round 2 of the 2022 NFR, when he got there at 23 years, 125 days—putting Webb 86 days ahead of him, just under three months clear of the fastest anyone in the sport had ever reached seven figures twice over.

“I’m a numbers guy, and I like to follow it and see where I was at the year before,” Webb said. “Not necessarily to break the record, but you set out to have a goal at the beginning of the year, and that’s what you want to accomplish. So it’s pretty cool to follow it. And then bein’ over the $2 million mark in the fifth year, that’s crazy, I think.”

Webb is sitting out Pendleton this week. He has St. George, Mandan, Mona and Sioux Falls left before the regular season ends—four more chances to add to a record he already owns.
