The race in the bull riding has been exciting to watch. Stetson Wright has held on tight to the No. 1 position all year long while Josh Frost, Jeff Askey and Garrett Smith have had outstanding performances and Maverick Potter’s Xtreme Bulls Finale win moved him up to complete the Top 5.
7. Tristen Hutchings, $114,902
Hutchings has had a breakout season. An 86.5-point ride in Round 1 of the Xtreme Bulls Finale and an 85 in Round 3 added over $4,500 to his season earnings and he didn’t stop there. He snagged a piece of the pie at the Pendleton Round-Up with an 87.5 in the Long Round before he went on to place in St. George, Utah. In the past two weeks, Hutchings has added over $13,000 to his earnings and cinched his first trip to the National Finals Rodeo.
8. Jared Parsonage, $109,968
Parsonage was on the bubble going into last week and he now sits within the Top 10. An 85-point win on Rafter H Rodeo’s Kill the Lights at the New Mexico State Fair and Rodeo got the Canadian bull rider almost $5,000. He is also looking at his first ever trip to Las Vegas come December.
15. Lukasey Morris, $97,224
As a rookie, Morris is leading the Resistol Rookie race and he needed a win going into the last week of the season. Those checks came as he locked in two third place finishes. One came at the New Mexico State Fair and Rodeo for over $2,000 and the other came from the Extreme Seminole Showdown for another $2,200.
