PRCA Tie-Down World Standings Update: Luke Potter Moving Up and Jake Pratt Rides the Bubble

SCP TDR Haven Meged-272 (1).jpg

Riley Webb is on pace to break earnings records as he continues to sit No. 1 in the PRCA World Standings by over $80,000. His traveling partner, Shad Mayfield, sits inside the Top 3 leaving no question that their rig is loaded with tough competition.

However, with six weeks left in the season, those on the bubble have all eyes on them. Cory Solomon, Caleb Smidt and Jake Pratt are the most vulnerable but it is still anybody’s game.

No. 2 Haven Meged, $135,447

His win at the Famous Preston Night Rodeo in Idaho wrapped up his July in a perfect way as his 7.4-second run was worth over $4,500. He followed it up with another win in Great Falls, Montana when he stopped the clock at 9.3 seconds for the Round 2 win at the Big Sky Rodeo. Although Dodge City, Kansas did not have the outcome he wanted, Meged found the pay window after an 8.8 landed him third in Round 1. His most recent success came at the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo in Colorado where he added a fifth place check to his earnings.

No. 11 Luke Potter, $78,937

Potter picked up one of the biggest wins in his career when he cinched the Daddy of ‘Em All. A seventh place finish in the qualifier moved him on to the performances where he was a 12.3 in Performance 6 to be third. In the Semifinals, he bestest that 12.3 by one second to finish third again. On Championship Sunday, Potter stopped the clock at 10.6 to win the title. His success in Cheyenne added over $15,500 to his earnings. He followed it up with a win at Iowa’s Championship Rodeo before a solid week in Dodge City, Kansas added another $8,600 to his season earnings.

No. 16 Jake Pratt, $70,304

After finding his way to the pay window at California Rodeo Salinas, Pratt’s last week of July was pretty quiet. At the War Bonnet Roundup in Idaho Falls, Idaho, Pratt made a run of 8.0 seconds to finish second and cash in on another $3,300. He trails No. 15 tie-down roper, Caleb Smidt, by just less than $5,000. Every penny counts and Pratt still has six weeks to make big moves as he hunts a second National Finals Rodeo qualification.
