INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Premier Women’s Rodeo commissioner Linsay Sumpter is collecting hardware for work she is nowhere close to finished doing.
Sumpter, who has run the organization since 2022, received the Tad Lucas Award this summer and will accept the Annie Oakley Trailblazer Award at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in November. In between, she is teaching agriculture business in her 18th year at Otero College in La Junta, Colorado, and roping toward the CPRA finals in Montrose.
She also just put 20 breakaway ropers in front of the show-horse world. The inaugural PWR showcase at The Run For A Million ran on $50,000 added, and by Sumpter’s account Hailey Jo Hall won $20,000 with a 2.5-second run and Lari Dee Guy placed second.
Next comes the Road to the Championship, a made-for-TV competition Dec. 17–20 at Cowtown Coliseum in Fort Worth with every classification represented and tickets already on sale. It feeds a 14-episode Grit series expected to start airing in February and running to the PWR Championship in May.
We talked about the awards, bringing rough stock, goat tying and pole bending back to a professional stage, how the Run For A Million showcase came together over a phone call, the storytelling behind the new series and her advice for anyone trying to break into the sport on this episode of The Breakaway Breakdown.
