On the Cover : Hali Williams, the daughter of eight-time PRCA World Champion Team Roper and ProRodeo Hall of Famer Speed Williams, captured her biggest win of her professional roping career thus far at RodeoHouston. This is the first year that all money won by breakaway ropers counted toward the world standings and with the win, Williams extended her lead as the top roper in the WPRA.
