Seven-day note: Jc Flake, $11,991 added in team roping

Eleven thousand nine hundred ninety-one dollars in a single seven-day span has reshaped the late-summer picture for JC Flake. The Milsap, Texas heeler pushed his 2026 season total to $85,284 after the weekly earnings burst, moving to No. 28 in the PRCA world standings. With three wins on his record this year, Flake continues to build momentum in the team roping ranks as the regular season approaches its final weeks.

Earning $11,991 over seven days requires capitalizing on every opportunity on the schedule. Flake currently sits in the No. 28 spot with $85,284, placing him in the middle of a dense pack chasing the top 15 threshold required for a National Finals Rodeo qualification. His three victories in 2026 reflect a steady output across the PRCA trail, keeping him in position to climb during the final stretch of August and September.

Partnership dynamics have defined Flake's recent trajectory. He paired with header Dustin Egusquiza beginning in June 2025 at Mount Pleasant, Texas, which marked their first official rodeo together. That team established its capability for high-speed runs early in the partnership, including a historic 2.9-second run at Rodeo Austin on a steer that had previously proven difficult for headers to handle.

Versatility has also expanded Flake's footprint beyond traditional team roping fixtures. He received the call to replace Jess Tierney at the 2026 Cinch Timed Event Championship after Tierney stepped away due to a back injury. Joining other late additions like Dalton Walker, Tyler Worley, Justin Shaffer, and Slade Wood, Flake accepted the invitation to make his debut in the multi-event competition, highlighting his capability across varied timed-event setups.

Recent arena action shows the pairing with Egusquiza remains effective in major field settings. At the Lea County Fair & PRCA Rodeo in Lovington, New Mexico, Egusquiza and Flake turned in a strong round performance in the team roping competition.

Standing at $85,284 with three wins in 2026, Flake holds No. 28 in the world as mid-August rodeos unfold. The $11,991 week brings his season total closer to the top tier as the calendar trends toward the final regular-season deadline on September 30.
