The Caldwell Night Rodeo is in the Top 25 of the highest paying rodeos in the PRCA and the action this year, did not disappoint.
Jess Pope inches closer to bursting the bubble.
The 2022 World Champion is battling for his spot inside the Top 15 from the outside, a place he is not accustomed to being. A $5,800 payday from Idaho was the highest individual payday from his $16,300 week.
A match up with Powder River Rodeo’s Rich N Fancy sealed the deal and Pope got the win with 170.5 points on two head which was four points higher than the rest.
Caldwell was the first of two wins for the weekend and the third of fourth wins in August.
Zack Jongbloed hangs on to the win and a potential second trip to Las Vegas.
Solid performances in Caldwell have Jongbloed back on track and momentum swinging his way. An 8.2-second run was his fastest of the three but an 8.4 put him second in the Finals. His total time on three was 25.1 seconds.
The Idaho rodeo added over $9,000 to Jongbloed’s name and he has fended off the competition for another day.
Rookie All-Around Wacey Schalla continues his run for the top.
Oklahoma’s Schalla has been heating up over the Summer Run and a hot streak in Cheyenne has sent him into overdrive. Schalla has jumped up to No. 4 in the PRCA Bull Riding World Standings with $159,056 in regular season earnings.
To win the Caldwell Night Rodeo All-Around, Schalla tied for a seventh-place finish in the bareback riding while his 89-point ride held on to the No. 1 spot in the bulls through three more performances.
