There's an old saying...sometimes you have to save the best for last; this is a pretty good description of Krissie May from Viola, Kansas. She is Jeff and ClaudiaAnn May's youngest of four children. Krissie, Hannah, Kaleb and Brittani were all raised on a small farm where they spend their days riding and training horses, working cattle and tending to all their livestock. Krissie can often be found packing the trailer with her sister Hannah preparing to compete at the next rodeo or the nearest barrel race. If you can't find her saddling up, she's most likely with her father working in the field on a tractor. In her spare time, Krissie enjoys playing basketball, cheering on her fellow classmates at school sporting events, and spending some quality time with her mother and sisters shopping, cooking or just simply laughing and having fun. Krissie is proud to be competing for the title of Miss Teen Rodeo Kansas which would give her the opportunity to travel as an ambassador for rodeo and her great home state. Krissie has the support of her parents and older siblings, as well as their wisdom and love. With her family by her side and the guidance of God, Krissie knows all things are possible.
Taylor Neuenschwander is the 15 year old daughter of Rick and Shannon Neuenschwander from Syracuse, Kansas. She is a sophomore at Syracuse High School, participating in golf, forensics, scholar's bowl, FFA, and is the only female player on the varsity baseball team. She is also a rodeo competitor, competing in break-away roping, barrels, and pole-bending. Taylor is from a 6d1 generation farming and ranching family, and aspires to follow in the leadership roles of her grandparents and great-grandparents. She is looking forward to being an ambassador of rodeo in the GREAT State of Kansas!
Haley Southern is the 17 year old daughter of Mike and Christi Southern of Newton, KS. She is a senior at Newton High School where she is on the yearbook staff, a member of National Honors Society, and is on the golf team. She is an active member in 4-H where she competes with her horse, Mouse, in the Harvey County horse project. In her free time she enjoys baking, crafting and traveling. Haley has had horses in her life since she was born and believes that horses have something to teach us if we choose to just listen.
