There have been some big changes in the PRCA Bull Riding World Standings as we head into the final three weeks of the regular season. The man at the top remains the same, however. Stetson Wright had a big weekend in Ellensburg to extend his lead over Josh Frost who is the new No. 2 man in the world, who had a pretty good weekend himself.
Speaking of good weekends in Ellensburg, T Parker took home over $30,000 to go from No. 18 in the standings to No. 9.
Here is a look at the current Top 20 as we near the end of the regular season.
No. 1 Stetson Wright, $263,374
Stetson Wright showed why he’s on top of the standings over the weekend. Wright had four rides of 86 points or higher between Walla Walla Frontier Days (Washington) and the Ellensburg Rodeo (Washington).
