On August 14th, 2017 Morgan Wallace of Laramie, Wyoming was named the 61st woman to hold the coveted title of Miss Rodeo Wyoming. Being able to represent the sport of rodeo and the western way of life is truly a dream come true for Morgan.

Morgan is the 21-year- old daughter of Brian and Lisa Wallace and was raised with the love for the state of Wyoming and the rodeo industry in her heart. She grew up engrained in the 4-H project where she participated in projects such as dance and swine, but nothing caught her heart like the horse and shooting sports programs. Morgan spent much of her time practicing and competing on the shooting range and was honored to represent her program three years in a row at the National 4-H Shooting Sports Championships.

When she isn’t on the rifle range Morgan spends most of her time horseback, where she loves to participate in horsemanship and reining shows while teaching youth about the importance of strong horsemanship skills.

Morgan is currently in her final year at the University of Wyoming where she is studying Agricultural Communications with a concentration in Agricultural Economics. She looks forward to continuing her studies at the University of Wyoming School of Law to become an Agricultural Lawyer focusing in water law.

Throughout the year Morgan looks forward to educating the public that rodeo is more than just a sport it is a celebration of a lifestyle while simultaneously bringing awareness to her platform of domestic violence prevention through the Man Up Crusade. A nationally recognized PRCA awareness program.
Morgan would like to take this time to thank her family and the community of Laramie for allowing her to reach for her goals. She looks forward to carrying on the legacy of the 60 wonderful women that have come before her, while working to form a legacy of her own.
