Miss Rodeo Kansas 2026
Rebecca Thornton
Rebecca Shea Thornton is the 25-year-old daughter of Angela Reed and Ryan Strait. Originally from Concordia, Kansas, she has since made the tiny town of Hepler her home. When she isn’t working or in school, Rebecca enjoys a multitude of hobbies. She loves spending her free time working on the latest bead or leatherwork piece, going to the gym, or simply curling up on the couch with her three dogs and a good book. Her love of education and desire to mentor also leads her back to Cross Trails Rodeo Bible Camp every summer. Her time spent as a volunteer, coach, and dorm mom has made a lasting impression on the way she views her life. She believes she learns just as much from the campers as they do from her. Her Faith is second to none in her life. Through the trials that she has endured, she credits all of her success to her Heavenly Father andwill tell anyone that she would not be able to live this life or chase this dream if it wasn’t for His grace and blessings. She strives to be an example of showing good in the world, not by the words we say, but by the actions we choose.
