FLY, GIRL, FLY! KATELYN SCOTT WINS PENDLETON!

Katelyn Scott is your 2026 Pendleton Round-Up Barrel Racing Champion!

Scott came to Pendleton at one of the most important moments of the season, sitting right in the thick of the race toward Las Vegas.

She started strong on the famous Green Mile, clocking a 29.32-second run to sit third in the opening round.

But Katelyn wasn't finished.

By the time the dust settled on Saturday, she had done enough to win the barrel racing average and leave Pendleton with one of the most treasured championships in professional rodeo.

And this one couldn't have come at a better time.

Katelyn entered the week No. 14 in the WPRA World Standings with $110,414, fighting to protect a place inside the Top 15. Her Pendleton victory also delivered valuable Playoff Series points and secured her spot at the Cinch Playoffs Governor's Cup in Sioux Falls.

Last year, Katelyn made her first NFR.

Now she's fighting to get back to Las Vegas — and she just picked up a Pendleton championship along the way.

Fly, girl, fly! What a time for Katelyn Scott to come up with a big win!
