He leads the tie-down roping world standings with more than $138,000 in season earnings, heading to his seventh appearance at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. On Wednesday evening during competition at the American Royal Rodeo, Maass took the steps needed to pad his lead on the final weekend of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association season.

The Giddings, Texas, cowboy roped and tied his calf in 7.6 seconds to take the early lead at the American Royal. He holds a two-tenths-of-a-second lead over the No. 2 roper, Trent Creager of Stillwater, Okla. Now he’ll have to wait out the three performances of Kansas City’s rodeo to see if his score holds up; the performances are set for 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Hale Arena at the American Royal complex.

Maass is one of four contestants who took the early leads in their respective events during Wednesday’s competition; the others were steer wrestler Riley Duvall of Checotah, Okla., 4.1 seconds; team ropers Quista Lopez of Beeville, Texas, and Buddy Hawkins of Columbus, Kan., 4.6 seconds; and barrel racer Trula Churchill of Valentine, Neb., 14.50 seconds.
