Blanchard won the Photogenic, Appearance, Impromptu, Personality, Modeling, Speech and Horsemanship categories, landing her the title.

The new Texas High School Rodeo Association Queen faces a full year of travels, interviews, and meetings representing the THSRA not only across Texas but also on the national stage.

Blanchard is an exceptional high school student who plans on becoming a trauma surgeon one day. She has been a member of the National High School Rodeo Association since 6th grade and participates in barrel racing and pole bending in her Texas home Region III, located in Graham, Texas.

Along with her title, she received a scholarship and a prize package including multiple buckles, a trophy saddle, and many other awards. Blanchard previously held the title of Miss Texas Junior High School Rodeo Princess in 2019.

Miss Blanchard said, “I am so honored to be able to serve the Texas High School Rodeo Association as its ambassador, promoting the sport of rodeo and western lifestyle. As a first-generation cowgirl, I can connect with others who want to become a member of the National High School Rodeo Association!”

Blanchard will be traveling to Lincoln, Nebraska, to represent Texas in the National High School Rodeo Queen competition from July 16-24.
