With just two months left in the regular season, the standings are shuffling as the big summer rodeos come and go. Tim O’Connell won the Cheyenne Frontier Days while Rocker Steiner continues to impress every where he goes.

Tim O’Connell’s third Cheyenne Frontier Days win came after an 88.5-point ride and a second-place finish at the Deadwood Days of ’76 makes him the No. 1 spot in the World. Between just these two rodeos, O’Connell added over $10,000 to his earnings.

TIM O’CONNELL CHEYENNE FRONTIER DAYS 88.5

Cole Reiner has stayed consistent all season pulling checks at all the ride rodeos. He tied with O’Connell to be second at the Days of ’76 with 85 points before he went on to Mitchell, Nebraska where the first ever Champions Challenge was held. An 84-point ride earned the Wyoming cowboy another check to keep him No. 2 in the World.

Jess Pope is out with an injury and has been bumped to No. 3 in the World. There is no doubt he will come back and make big moves at the National Finals Rodeo.

Rocker Steiner is having an unbelievable rookie year. He is the No. 4 cowboy in the World. Coming off of a big win at the Calgary Stampede, Steiner moved on to place at the Days of ’76 before matching up with Virgil to go 92 points in Helena, Montana and drawing Colorado Bulldog to be second in Mitchell, Nebraska.

California cowboy R.C. Landingham is your No. 5 bareback rider in the World. He added over $5,000 to his season earnings after making it through the rounds at Cheyenne Frontier Days and finishing second in the Final Round with 87.5 points.
