Waylon Bourgeois finished No. 16 in the World at the end of the regular season in 2024 and this year, he is getting a head start on making sure that does not happen again. Your Roughstock Athlete of the Week capitalized on all three go-rounds of his at RodeoHouston to not only land a spot in the Semi-Finals but to be the highest money earner so far.
Louisiana’s star bareback rider picked up all three go-round wins. It all started with Cervi Championship Rodeo’s Family Tradition and an 86-point ride in Round 1 to split the win before Rounds 2 and 3 were all his.
Another Cervi Championship bucking horse in Round two, Organic Outlaw, would be the other half of an 85-point ride and in Round 3, Bourgeois’ match up was Rocky Mountain Rodeo’s Stomper for 87. When you combine all three wins, Bourgeois is sitting pretty with $8,500 to his name in Houston.
Bourgeois is coming off a $10,440 month of February and losing no steam. He added to his Houston earnings with a payday at the Cinch World’s Toughest in South Carolina to be your No. 4 bareback rider in the PRCA World Standings and your Roughstock Athlete of the Week.
