The Women’s Professional Rodeo Association is saddened to hear of the passing of Barrel Racing World Champion LaTonne Sewalt.

RODEOHOUSTON is a bucket list rodeo that every WPRA member would love to win at least once in their career. The majority never have that chance which makes it quite feat for the two WPRA members who captured the 2026 title for their second and third time respectively.

Women in Rodeo took center stage on March 18 as part of the Women’s History Month series on ESPN SportsCenter. Representing the WPRA was three-time barrel racing World Champion Brittany Pozzi Tonozzi, who was spotlighted for all she has and continues to accomplish in professional rodeo. She joined gold medalist downhill skier Breezy Johnson as part of the 2026 series thus far.

The 2025 WPRA and PRCA World Champions made a historic trip to the nation’s capital Friday to meet with President Donald Trump. Each world champion had the opportunity to visit the world famous Oval Office, an opportunity most Americans will never have in their lifetime. That was recognized by the cowgirls and cowboys, as a true honor they won’t soon forget.
