The Short Score: Late Summer Check-In - The Score from The Team Roping Journal

The summer is winding down, but the ProRodeo action is not. From Greeley and Cowboy Christmas, to Salinas and Cheyenne, The Short Score is covering everything that has happened this summer as we roll into August.Andrew Ward and Jake Long got Cowboy Christmas rolling earlier this summer with the Greeley Stampede win in June for $11,225 a man. And while Ward and Long were amongst the top of team roping's Cowboy Christmas earners, Clint Summers and Jade Corkill led the pack with $29,897 apiece.Dustin Egusquiza and Levi Lord capitalized at the NFR Open in Colorado Springs, Colorado, winning the sudden-death finals with a 4.8-second run and claiming over $15,000 each. The win also secured them their first national circuit titles.The longest score in ProRodeo and a the only five-head battle, California Rodeo Salinas was no problem for Tanner Tomlinson and Travis Graves. They roped five steers in 48.5 seconds to claim the win and $11,254 each.Aaron Tsinigine and Jeremy Buhler won their second major PRCA rodeo of the summer, first with the Reno Rodeo and now the Cheyenne Frontier Days. But their road to No. 1 was perhaps less than conventional.MORE FROM THE SCOREThe Short Score: Here Comes the SummerThe Short Score: Old West Rope Horse Futurity 2025"Team Roping Is Going to Save the Day for Everybody" — Steve Friskup's 2025 Horse Market ReportThe $1.7 Million Rope Horse: Meet the Man Who Bought HerThe NEW U.S.-Mexico Cattle Border ClosureTop 5 “The Score” Podcast Interviews of 2025 (So Far)
