BIOGRAPHY
Joey Williams finished 2021 as one of the best breakaway ropers in the world. She came into last year’s National Finals in Last Vegas ranked 14th before finishing the year as 10th.
At the 2021 NFRr, Williams clocked the fastest time in two rounds - 1.7 and 1.8 - and shared fastest time in a third and won fifth place twice. Her two-day performance earned her fifth overall at the NFR prize money with $18,239 in prize money.
The national spotlight is nothing new for the Montana resident. In 2012, Williams (then Joey Painter) won the breakaway national college title in her junior year at Black Hills State University. In college, Williams was also named All Around Cowgirl in the Great Plains Region Inter-Collegiate Rodeo.
In addition to her success at the NFR, 2021 also saw Joey named the year-end champion at the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit finals.
Joey and her husband, Taylor, are the proud parents of two sons, Landon and Carson, and daughter Shay.

Stepping Up Her Game
Doing whatever it takes to win is something Joey Williams is totally comfortable with. At the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo in late February, “everyone was roping good,” she says with a laugh. Rather than cave under the weight of the competition, she - along with her horse, Babye - rose to the occasion to finish as reserve breakaway champion.
"Anything Can Happen"
She’s back, y’all. Sitting at No. 8 in the standings as September draws to a close, breakaway star Joey Williams is poised to qualify for her second consecutive trip to Las Vegas for the National Finals Breakaway Roping.
THE ROAD BACK TO
THE NFR
Athlete. Mother. Wife. Rancher. Joey Williams is many things. And now, thanks to her electric performance at the 2021 National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, she is one of breakaway’s breakout stars.
A DREAM
COME TRUE
In junior high school in Montana, Joey Williams wrote an essay arguing why breakaway roping should be added as an event at the National Finals Rodeo. In 2020, the NFR added breakaway roping to its event lists. Now, a year later, Williams, who is ranked 14th in the world, has earned a trip to the NFR next month in Las Vegas.
JOEY WILLIAMS,
MOTHER FIRST
Joey Williams is on the road again. The world’s 14th-ranked breakaway roper has just finished an event and is driving back home. She says she hopes she makes it - her truck has not been running great - but she’s going to drive all night if she can. Three little ones are waiting at home for their mom to return.
