Maverick Potter is your Roughstock Athlete of the Week after he soared in the PRCA World Standings from No. 13 to No. 5 with a colossal win at the Ellensburg Xtreme Bulls. Taking home over $27,000, he cinched his first ever National Finals Rodeo qualification.
In Round 1, Potter matched up with Wayne Vold Rodeo’s By the Batch to win the round and make a $10,000 88.5-point bull ride. When it came time for the Short Round, no bull rider covered their bull making Potter’s Round 1 ride the winning ride.
The win came when Potter needed it the most as he had been bucked off his previous 10 bulls.
With less than one month left in the regular season, Potter is looking to add to his earnings before heading to Las Vegas this December for his first ever NFR. Prior to this season, Potter had never finished better than No. 29 in the PRCA World Standings.
