On the Cover : Brittany Pozzi Tonozzi (top left) and Shelby Boisjoli-Meged (bottom right) had record breaking years in 2023 to capture the gold buckle. For Pozzi Tonozzi it was her third world title shattering the season earnings record winning just shy of half a million dollars. For Boisjoli-Meged it was her first gold buckle and she also set a season earnings record just under $200,000 won on the year. What a way to close out the WPRA’s 75th year!
