20X World Champion Sits Atop the WPRA Ladies Breakaway World Standings

The 20 time cowgirl has large lead in the world standings, but with many big rodeos left the top 15 NFBR positions are not close to being set in stone.

Breakaway roping has taken the rodeo world by storm with bigger payouts and more rodeos bringing the breakaway roping standards up in 2024.

With three months of rodeo left in the 2024 rodeo season, loopers are making the final push to be in the top 15 in the world standings come October 1.

Jackie Crawford has a nearly twenty-thousand-dollar lead in the standings with $106,722.47 won. Crawford is consistently a top contender, and she is not about to left off the gas during the home stretch. No gold buckle is sealed until the last calf is roped. Crawford's $50,000 win at Rodeo Houston has propelled her season.

Another household name is currently sitting pretty in the second position. Taylor Munsell from Alva, Okla., has earned $89,835.83 this season. Munsell has a lead of over eleven thousand dollars ahead of the third ranked roper in the standings.

Gilbert, Ariz. is where super looper Danielle Lowman resides when she is not chasing gold buckle dreams. "D-Low" has set herself up nicely for another National Finals Breakaway (NFBR) qualification with $78,710.26 next to her name.

Josie Conner holds the fourth position behind Lowman by under six thousand dollars, with $72,749.91. The Louisiana cowgirl is coming of a win at Nampa, ID on Rooster, owned by Madison Outhier, and Rooster is now the back-to-back champ at the Snake River Stampede.

Rounding out the top five is Shelby Boisjoli-Meged from Miles City, MT who has been to the pay window to collect $69,820.86 in the 2024 season so far. This 26-year-old cowgirl already has a world championship gold buckle on her belt, and she is gunning for another.

There is a $66,354 dollar gap from the fifteenth position to the No. 1. position, however there are a lot of rodeos left in the next three months. We will see many more position changes over the coming days. Certainly, the top 15 spots are not set so you can guarantee the ropers behind the current leaders will be fighting to earn their spot in the top 15 for a chance for a NFBR qualification.

SAMI JO BUUM

From tiny pink cowboy boots and pigtails to pro rodeos and fast horses, Sami Jo was definitely bitten by the horse bug at a very young age. She was born and raised in Colorado on a small backyard farm in Brighton. The western industry has been a huge part of almost every aspect of her life. She was not born into a rodeo family and is a first-generation professional barrel racer. With her husband, she co-owns and operates a construction company out of Keenesburg, Colo. as well as run a small performance horse breeding and training operation, Dark Horse Equine. She is passionate about animals, rodeo, family, work and Christ. She plays many roles from business owner, professional cowgirl, rodeo wife, horse trainer and breeder, animal therapist, writer and more; however, being a mom is her favorite job title. I look forward to sharing my experiences and all things western with my audience.
