Zero In: Tristen Hutchings Climbing the World Standings Thanks to Big Rides

Tristen Hutchings is No. 15 in the PRCA Bull Riding Standings with $42,600 earned on the season. Hutchings is looking to make his second NFR after finishing No. 3 in the World Standings last year.

Here is how his season has gone thus far as he looks to work his way off of the bubble.

On the season Hutchings is 14 of 40 in qualified rides, good for a 35% qualified ride rate.

While his ride percentage may be a bit lower than some others inside the top 15, he is averaging an impressive 85.5 points per ride when he makes the horn. His average is why, of his 14 qualified rides, he has 8 go-round wins.

Hutchings has had some nice visits to the pay window over the last couple of weeks. He placed third at the Gozer Ranch Extreme Bulls with an 86.5-point ride and took the Red Bluff Roundup with his second 90-point ride of the season. Those two rides earned him over $10,000 alone.
