One more reason not to miss this weekend’s rodeo at the Kingfisher County Fairgrounds Arena is the coronation of the rodeo queen and princess Saturday night.

Young ladies vying for this year’s titles include:

Queen candidates – Sara Rangel, Victoria Renteria and Erica Woolery.

Princess candidate – Sawyer Jo Williams.

Erica Woolery, 20, is the daughter of Matthew Woolery and Andria Palmer.

A lifelong animal lover, Woolery showed livestock at Cashion High School and then saved enough money to buy her first horse her senior year.

One horse turned into three permanent residents and three neglected and abused rescues that were rehomed after Woolery rehabilitated them.

Now that she is out of school, Woolery spends most of her time working and interacting with her horses and hopes to someday open her own animal rescue center.

Sara Rangel, 14, is the daughter of Luis and Ana Rangel of Hennessey.

A freshman at Hennessey High School, Rangel participates in cross country and track and runs barrels in local rodeos.

Victoria Renteria, 14, is also a freshman at HHS and the daughter of Daniel and Yolanda Renteria.

Her love for rodeo started as a young girl and now she competes in breakaway roping as well as barrel racing.

Her goal if she is named the 2022 rodeo queen is to help spread the love of rodeo to her community, she said..

Sawyer Jo Williams, 8, is the sole contestant for rodeo princess and the daughter of J.R. and Chelsea Williams of Kingfisher and the granddaughter of Rocky and Carla Ohm, also of Kingfisher, Marlene Maddock of Huron, S.D. , and the late Louis Williams.

Sawyer is a second grader at Kingfisher and attends Lifeway Church.

A member of Kingfisher Roundup Club, she is a novice rider who hopes to grow her horsemanship skills through playdays so that she might eventually start roping with her dad.

She also is a member of 4-H, shows livestock and hopes to attend Oklahoma State University to become a veterinarian.
