Trey Holston of Fort Scott, Kansas has cinched his first ever trip to the bright lights of Las Vegas. He will go into the National Finals Rodeo as the No. 11 ranked bull rider in the PRCA World Standings.
Holston hit a hot streak over the summer run having luck in Dodge City, Sikeston and Deadwood and it came down to knowing that champions are made at crunch time.
BIGGEST PAYDAYS
Caldwell Night Rodeo, $6,774
Powder River Rodeo’s Cherry Bomb would be the bull that Holston earned a second place finish and over $6,000 on. At the Caldwell Night Rodeo, Holston would be one of only five bull riders to make the eight seconds and cash in.
Deadwood Days of ’76, $3,567
Another second-place finish would come in South Dakota. Aboard Sutton Rodeo’s Demon Diamonds, Holston would go 86.5 points and continue climbing the standings over the summer run.
HIGHEST MARKED RIDES
Great Plains Stampede Rodeo, 88 Points
In Altus, Oklahoma Holston drew Andrews Rodeo’s Miller Time where he would make his highest marked ride of the season at 88 points. The ride would amount to almost $2,000.
Colorado State Fair, 87 points
Directly following his season high, Holston would come close to doing it again in Colorado. Just one point less, Holston would go eight seconds and be 87 points on Universal Pro Rodeo’s Big Bank.
NOTABLE WINS
Cinch Playoffs
At the Washington State Fair, Holston would go on to the Final Round after making it past two performances and the Semifinals. Among his scores in doing so are an 84.5-point ride and a 77 and he would come out the champion.
