The top 12 in all 13 WPRA circuits are set off the final 2026 board, posted Oct. 2, and they’ll all run at their respective finals between the Badlands Oct. 9-11 in Minot, N.D., and the First Frontier and Montana’s Jan. 14-16, 2027, in Harrisburg, Pa., and Great Falls, Mont., events.
Emma Ricke took the Great Lakes lead after the Sept. 10 board, finishing $1,121 ahead of Lucy Ferch, and is the only new leader of the 13 since our last check-in. Seven barrel racers moved into a top 12 across six circuits. The tightest No. 12 line on the final board is in the Wilderness, where Haylee Moosman Woodward finished $33.73 ahead of Makenna Shook.
Each circuit takes its top 12 into its finals, provided a rider meets that circuit’s minimum counted-rodeo requirement. Every figure below is off the WPRA board as of Oct. 2, and the movement is measured against the Sept. 10 board.
