J.W. Harris Biography

J.W. Harris is one of the most popular and richest Rider who was born on July 14, 1986 in Coleman, United States.

The winner of the last two rounds prior to Round 9, Cody Teel, came in fifth in Round 9 with a 77.5 point score on the bull Seminole Wind. Teel led the aggregate with 575 points for seven rides. No one would have been able to catch him in Round 10, so he won the NFR Average title. Since Teel was second in the World Standings counting season and NFR earnings with $165,179, he could not have earned enough in Round 10 to catch Harris. Thus, Harris was declared the winner after Round 9, even though there was one round remaining. After Round 10, Harris won total earnings of $252,829, clearly the outstanding winner. Harris matched another record with Don Gay, this time by becoming the first bull rider to win four world championships since Don Gay, 1979–1981.
