The final Super Series of the 2025 RodeoHouston wrapped up and sent another group of contestants on to the semi-finals and one step closer to the big payday. Several stories unfolded in an exciting third round of Super Series V.

None of the athletes in Super Series V managed a clean sweep of all three rounds, but there were still some standout performances and some last-chance redemptions. Rodeo Houston's unique bracket system keeps it interesting. In each Super Series, the top four money earners over the three rounds are the ones who advance. This being said, a rough start in Rounds 1 and 2 doesn’t necessarily eliminate contestants from advancing.

The breakaway roping was a perfect example here. Shelby Boisjoli Meged didn't have any money won yet going into round 3. But, never count the World Champion out. She and her mare Rootbeer won the final round with a 2.8 — the fastest time of the three rounds. When the pressure was on, she did what she does best securing her spot in the semi-finals with $3,000 earned and advancing in the number 4 position. Macy Young came out the Super Series V champ.

We saw several contestants win two of three rounds. Clay Jorgensen won the first two in the bareback riding and won the Super Series. Similarly, team roping pair Pedro Egurrola and Justin Davis started with a second-place finish in round one but then won the next two rounds to come out on top to advance as well. In the saddle bronc, Ryder Wright won rounds one and two and the Super Series, as did Leslie Smalygo in the barrel race. Four-time World Champion Hailey Kinsel was the only one to outrun Leslie over the three rounds. Smalygo won the Super Series by over $4,000.
