Ladies rise to top at Caldwell Night Rodeo on Friday night
Crawford
CALDWELL, Idaho — The D&B Supply Arena at the Caldwell Night Rodeo was on fire during the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association events on Friday night.
It started with the women’s breakaway roping, the fourth event of the rodeo. After the first two competitors went out with a no-time, Madalyn Richards from Hereford, Texas, then stopped the clock in 2.4 seconds.
The next woman to ride in the box was many-time world champion Jackie Crawford from Stephenville, Texas. Crawford not only beat, Richards, she tied the arena record at 2.2 seconds. That record was originally set in 2022 by Taylor Munsell.
Crawford is 30th in the world standings. The top 15 qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Breakaway Roping in Las Vegas in December. She still has a chance to do that and a win here would certainly help set her on that path. Regardless, the success she is having here will help her to qualify for the winter building rodeos and set up here 2026 season.
Another woman who is outside the top 15 in the world standings is Bryanna Haluptzok from Ardmore, Okla. Haluptzok grew up in Minnesota and started riding horses in youth organizations. The barrel racing bug bit her at 16 and she started taking lessons. As that became her focus, she moved to Oklahoma where she had more opportunities and now she is traveling across the country to compete at rodeos.
That travel paid off at Caldwell where she and her great horse “Flash” Cat Mai Flash stopped the clock here in 16.88 seconds. While it wasn’t fast enough to win the first round, it was good enough for a second-place finish. Haluptzok and Flash earned $3,606 for their effort and will be running here again on Saturday night in hopes of earning a championship.
The final performance of the Caldwell Night Rodeo will be Saturday, Aug. 16 starting at 8 p.m., where champions will be crowned.
