Miss Rodeo Wyoming 2015: Laurel Austin
Laurel's favorite place to be riding horseback is in Wyoming's Snowy Range. Regardless of venue, Laurel does some of her best thinking in the saddle. She won her first buckle in the Laramie Jubilee Days Kid's Horse Show at the age of seven and then later became Miss Laramie Jubilee Days Queen in 2013.
During high school, she showed livestock through 4H and FFA, and competed on the National Agriculture Issues Team while also earning All-Conference and All-State recognition in athletics. Laurel's background is as diverse as the terrain around her. Through these organizations and rodeo she learned responsibility, the value of teamwork and importance of family and friends.
Laurel is an undergraduate in the Animal Science Department at the University of Wyoming where she is focused on animal nutrition, business and production. As a student, she has participated on the University's Equestrian and Ranch Horse Teams, and is a member of Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers. She became Miss Albany County Farm Bureau in 2014 and then competed and won the coveted title of Miss Rodeo Wyoming at the Wyoming State fair in August.
As Miss Rodeo Wyoming, she is traveling the United States representing Wyoming and the great sport of rodeo. She will go on to compete at the Miss Rodeo America Pageant in December 2015. Laurel has learned that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible. She would like to thank her family and community for their ongoing support and encourages all those around her to learn through experience, lead by example and inspire others to be their best.
