Ellie Evans ~ Miss Teen Rodeo Iowa 2026
Growing up in North Liberty, Iowa, my passion for agriculture, horses, and community involvement has shaped who I am today. My name is Ellie Evans, and I am honored to serve as Miss Teen Rodeo Iowa 2026.I began my riding journey just five short years ago in 2020, when I entered the horse industry through 4-H and FFA, showing in Washington and Johnson County, Iowa. Although I started later than many, my love for horses and dedication to improving my skills have allowed me to grow quickly as a horsewoman. In addition to showing, I have become very active in cowboy mounted shooting, where teamwork, trust, and horsemanship are essential. I also regularly carry sponsor flags at rodeos, proudly representing the businesses and organizations that support the sport.
I am a proud graduate of Liberty High School, Class of 2025, and I am currently enrolled at Oklahoma State University, pursuing a degree in Agricultural Communications with a minor in Marketing. This education allows me to better understand the needs of agricultural communicators while preparing me to be a strong and informed voice for the agriculture and rodeo industries.
Serving as Miss Teen Rodeo Iowa gives me the opportunity to combine my love for the Western way of life with my passion for communication. Through this role, I hope to advocate for agriculture, promote rodeo, and support the sponsors and professionals who make our industry possible. I strive to be a positive role model for young cowgirls and cowboys and to show that no matter when you start, hard work and determination can turn dreams into reality.
I am incredibly grateful for the support of my family, friends, and mentors who have helped me reach this goal. I am proud to represent the state of Iowa and look forward to sharing the story of rodeo, agriculture, and the Western lifestyle wherever my crown may take me.
