𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 - 𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐏𝐑𝐀!

Last night in Burley, ID - Kathy Grimes of Medical Lake, WA rewrote history with a new WPRA Record on a Barrel Racing Standard Pattern stopping the clock in 16.31 seconds! If you are a fan of ProRodeo, you might remember Makenna Shook breaking this same record in Burley at the Cassia County Fair & Rodeo in 2025 with a time of 16.53 seconds on her horse XV Mario.

Makenna's WPRA Standard Pattern Record was broken earlier this month by Sydney Graham and Dupont First at the Mountain Valley Stampede in Heber City, UT with a time of 16.49 seconds.

Someone once said,"𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒏" and our WPRA Barrel Racers are proving that true! Our hats go off to all of these incredible rodeo committees that are raising the bar with special attention to ground conditions and taking our sport to the next level! Congratulations, Kathy and KG Just Money.
