World Champions Crowned at 2026 WPRA World Finals in Waco

Date:


Thompson not only grabbed the team roping heading world title, but she also added a second all-around title to her resume. Thompson is quickly building her resume in the WPRA ranks and will be looking for more as she makes her National Breakaway Finals debut in Fort Worth in December. The Yoder, Wyoming, cowgirl won the all-around title in 2024, followed by the Resistol Rookie breakaway roping title in 2025.

Another past champion grabbing her third tie-down world title was Gracie Gambino. Gambino won the average title as well finishing the weekend with a two-run time of 30.6 seconds.

Winning the world title in the futurity and derby division for the horse aspect was Cadyn Nelson aboard CatchYaOnTheFlipSide (1D futurity world champion), Colleen Vondra riding Im Heavens Bully (Futurity 2D) and Bergan Buesser on Tres Machos (Derby).

Action wraps up in the barrel arena Sunday with the average winner in the ProRodeo barrels being awarded along with the permit only. Full results can be found on wpra.com.
