Chenae Shiner, Miss Rodeo America 2013
LAS VEGAS – The results are in and the next Miss Rodeo America has been crowned. The 2013 leading lady of Professional Rodeo is Chenae Shiner, of Roosevelt, Utah.
Shiner served as Miss Rodeo Utah 2012, and during the next year, she will travel more than 100,000 miles representing Miss Rodeo America, Inc. and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.
Upon graduating from Union high school, Shiner attended Utah State University and obtained an Associates Degree. She is currently pursing a Bachelors degree in Radiologic Sciences from Weber State University, with special emphasis in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT). Shiner will be able to put to good use the $22,500 educational scholarship she will receive at the completion of her reign.
Shiner was also awarded a wardrobe of Wrangler jeans and shirts, Justin boots, Bailey hats, Silver Mounted Court’s Saddle and an official Miss Rodeo America trophy buckle from Montana Silversmiths. Accompanying the perpetual Miss Rodeo America tiara made by Landstrom’s Original Black Hills Gold Creations, she was given a wardrobe of matching jewelry. These items, along with a multitude of other valuable and exquisite prizes will be presented to her throughout the year.
Contestants were judged in the major categories of horsemanship, personality, and appearance, competing in the areas of public speaking, personal interviews, modeling, photogenic and rodeo/equine knowledge. Contestants were eligible for $53,000 in scholarships at the 2013 Miss Rodeo America Pageant.
