Dakota Eldridge Wins Ellensburg, Closes Ground on No. 1 Spot

Dakota Eldridge took care of business in Ellensburg and walked away with the win. Eldridge is doing all he can to track down No. 1 Bulldogger Dalton Massey, who now holds just a $5,000 lead in the World Standings.

Eldridge took home the title with a total time of 13.3 on three to take home $11,000.

While Eldridge may have looked calm on the outside, he said he was feeling the pressure on the inside.

“This one has always been on the bucket list. I had more nerves, and the crowd, it’s one of those rodeos that I still get nervous at.”

Eldridge is up to $152,082 in earnings on the year as we head towards the season’s final weeks.
