NHSRA Queen Contest

From: Lindon, Utah

Personal Note: The spirit of the western lifestyle and the love of rodeo is strong in my family! I feel honored to be crowned as the NHSRA Queen, and to carry on the legacy of my late aunt who loved to high school rodeo before she passed away in 1996 at age 17. Rodeo is about family!

Fun Fact: I am an artist and love to draw horses and pet portraits in my spare time. I even won the 2024 UHSRA program cover art contest that featured a collage dedicated to my aunt’s high school rodeo career.

Favorite HS Rodeo Memory: My favorite high school memory is my very first High School Queen title in a small town called Delta, Utah. This was my only HS queen win before State, and was also the place where my aunt passed away in a car accident after a breakaway clinic. This win brought my family comfort and peace to know my aunt was with me. Side note: I learned right before going to Delta that my aunt would put $2 bills in her cowboy hats, so I decided to do the same and I feel like it's been good luck ever since!
