The Cleveland Livestock Show crowned a new Miss Rodeo Cleveland Livestock Show during rodeo events held Saturday, May 1.
Three contestants competed for the title, including Preslee Brooks of Cleveland, Cailee Ratcliff of Dallardsville and Darline Lopez of Tarkington.
Contestants were judged in three categories: interview, horsemanship and rodeo events.
Brooks, a junior at Cleveland High School, was named this year’s rodeo queen. She is the daughter of Brian and Amanda Brooks. Her win continues a family tradition, as her older sister, Marlee Brooks, held the title in 2021.
Ratcliff, a sophomore at Big Sandy High School, was named first runner-up. She is the daughter of Chris Ratcliff and Catherine Lawless.
Lopez, a homeschooled sophomore from Tarkington, was named second runner-up. She is the daughter of Gabriel and Angel Lopez.
All three contestants received prizes for their participation, with Brooks earning a new saddle for winning the title.
