A big week in Denver for Wacey Schalla resulted in a big win that is sure to fuel his second season as a cardholder in the PRCA. After making it to the Semi-Finals in the bareback riding, Schalla truly shined in the bull riding. He swept his bracket before making his second 90-point ride of the 2025 season to cinch the win.
Bracket 7 started with a fourth-place finish in Round 1 of the bareback riding and was added to when Schalla put together an 83.5-point ride on Bailey Pro Rodeo’s Cowboy Dreams in the bulls. Round 2 was a win in both events with an 82 on Legend Rodeo LLC’s Illegal Smile in the bareback and an 84-point ride on Bailey Pro Rodeo’s Who’s Aboard making Schalla the No. 2 cowboy moving on to the Semifinals in the bareback riding and No. 1 in the bull riding.
When it came to the Finals, Schalla moved on in the bull riding where he matched up with Cervi Championship Rodeo’s Vitalix Anthrax for a massive 90-point ride to beat eight-time World Champion Stetson Wright by two points. It was a clean slate in the Finals which made Schalla your National Western Stock Show and Rodeo Bull Riding Champion.
