Taylor Munsell is holding a commanding lead atop the breakaway standings, proving the impact of major wins like Houston, but with the summer run ahead, the race is far from over.
With a trip to the National Finals Breakaway Roping on the line, here are your current Top 15 Breakaway Ropers vying for a spot:
No. 1 Taylor Munsell $92,902
Munsell currently leads the ranks in the breakaway roping, thanks to a massive $65,000 payday from her win at RODEOHOUSTON. That victory catapulted the Oklahoma cowgirl into the top spot and accounts for a significant portion of her overall season earnings so far.
Munsell has continued to stay hot, since picking up $3,779 for a second-place finish in the first round of San Angelo and $1,572 for third in the second round at Guymon.
Last year, it took just over $77,000 to qualify for the National Finals Breakaway Roping in the top 15, so Munsell may have already punched her ticket which is monumental this early in the season.
No. 2 Josie Conner $56,068
Conner has seen numerous checks come her way in the 2025 season but the most significant comes from her first-place finish earlier this year at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo where she finished first for huge $20,000. Additionally, Conner earned over $7,800 throughout the duration of the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. Since, she’s continued to pick up checks at Rodeo Austin and the Clark County Fair & Rodeo.
Finishing third last year in the WPRA World Standings, Conner is looking to make her way back to the Finals and hopefully finish in the top spot.
No. 3 Joey Williams $51,192
2025 started off strong from Williams bringing in money at the Montana Circuit Finals, Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo and San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.
Her standout moment so far this year came at RODEOHOUSTON where Williams finished third in the Finals to walk away with $20,000.
After missing the NFBR in 2024, Williams is on pace to make her return in 2025.
No. 4 Aspen Miller $43,961
The 2025 Texas Swing favored breakaway roper Aspen Miller. At Rodeo Austin, she placed second in the first round earning $6,328. She followed that with a dominant showing at San Antonio, placing in all three rounds of her bracket and ultimately claiming the Championship title and over $22,000 in earnings.
Most recently, she won the average at Guymon which paid out $3,191.
No. 5 Kinlie Brennise $43,745
The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo delivered Brennise her largest payday so far this season with $19,050 across the event. She also picked up $4,000 through her bracket at RODEOHOUSTON and more recently in April, the talented cowgirl tied for second at Red Bluff for an additional $3,055 to add to her overall standings.
No. 6 Rylee George $41,373
George walked away the 2025 Rodeo Austin Breakaway Champion which solidified her spot in the top of the standings earning over $14,000. She finished 11th in the world at the conclusion of the 2024 NFBR, but with her recent success this year, she’s positioned herself much stronger than where she was a year ago last season.
No 7. Bradi Good $39,039
A second-place finish in the Championship round of RODEOHOUSTON contributed $30,000 to Good’s season earnings, setting her up well for the rest of the year. Since that monumental win, Good also finished fourth in the first round of Guymon Pioneer Days to pocket an additional $1,295.
No. 8 Beau Peterson $35,615
Peterson’s number eight position in the standings can be attributed to a number of strong performances this year. The biggest comes from RODEOHOUSTON where she ended up fourth in the Championship round for $10,000 and picked up an additional $3,750 during her earlier time there. She also earned over $7,000 at San Antonio as well as $3,376 in Guymon to position herself well going into the next several months.
No. 9 Maddy Deerman $33,151
Deerman was the fastest cowgirl in the final round at San Antonio this year cashing in for $15,252, her biggest win of the year thus far. She’s also gathered checks at RODEOHOUSTON, Parada del Sol, and the Kingman Breakaway Roping.
No. 10 Shelby Boisjoli-Meged $32,575
The 2023 World Champion is already making waves in the 2025 season with her sights set on returning to Vegas in December. Boisjoli-Meged started her year off strong at RODEOHOUSTON collecting over $8,500. In addition to those earnings, the Canadian roper left San Angelo with over $8,600 to add to her season overall.
No. 11 TiAda Gray $32,266
Gray found early success this year at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. Through a series of round wins and a third-place finish, Gray picked up $15,100 at this event alone. While San Antonio didn’t deliver the final results she had hoped, Gray still collected over $6,000 there.
No. 12 Jenna Dallyn $29,264
Dallyn has gathered a number of significant paychecks throughout this year so far but the most substantial came from San Angelo where the Alberta native won $9,018.
No. 13 Macy Young $27,173
2x NFBR Qualifier Young has been steadily adding to her season earnings by winning $8,428 at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, $4,250 at RODEOHOUSTON and $2,145 at Clovis.
No. 14 Hali Williams $26,652
Williams has seen some significant checks come her way this season already as she travels down the road. She picked up money in Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Houston to give her a strong lead heading into the rest of the rodeo season.

Rounding out the current top 15 breakaway ropers, Bates has had a strong start to her year, picking up the average title at San Angelo for $7,086 as well as most recently $3,237 at Guymon Pioneer Days.
