Katie is within the top 6 in her class and is a member of the national honor society. She is also very involved with her community being sure to always help with the Tarpley Volunteer fire department, The Medina Children’s home, and many other local organizations. She plays a very significant role in her student council, and year after year has been one of the best students in the council.

Katie has qualified to the wrangler junior high national finals rodeo twice, one trip including bringing home a national title, and has qualified to THSRA state finals in multiple events the past three years. Ever since her first rodeo at the ripe age of seven years old, Katie has looked for ways of improvement. “I firmly believe there is room for improvement, not only within myself but within the Texas High School Rodeo Association.” Katie has big plans for the THSRA and hopes that she can continue to make the changes that everyone wants to see.

DAKODA LEOPOLD - THSRA STUDENT VICE PRESIDENT

My name is Dakoda Leopold, the son of Alfred and Vickie Leopold of
Louise Texas. I am a 17 year old senior at El Campo High School where
I am currently ranked number 10 in my class. To me, Rodeo is not only a
hobby or just something to do, it’s my life; without it I would be absolutely
nothing. In addition to my life outside of the rodeo arena, I am extremely
involved academically in my school and am a member of the FFA in which
I serve as the Vice president of my chapter, a member of the student council
and a past student body officer, and am also a member of the National Honor
Society. The FFA and rodeo go hand in hand for me because they have
molded me into the person that I am today by teaching me sportsmanship,
responsibility, determination, and the true meaning of hard work through
events such as Horse Judging, Livestock Judging, Chapter Conducting and
the various rodeo associations in which I have participated throughout my 14
year rodeo career. I hope to bring something new to the table while serving
as the student Vice President of THSRA in an attempt to better myself as
an individual as well as completing any task presented to me so that the
association itself may prosper.

Upon attending her first Texas High School Rodeo Association state board meeting in the fall of 2010, Hailey Kinsel of Cotulla, Texas set a goal of becoming a state high school rodeo student officer. This past June at the THSRA state finals, she accomplished this goal and was elected to be the 2011-12 THSRA Student Secretary. Hailey is a junior and a three-
year member of THSRA Region VIII, and before entering high school, competed in TJHRA for two years. She has served her Region VIII in several offices, such as junior high student vice president, Ariat Reporter, and currently student vice president. Competing in barrel racing, pole
bending, goat tying, and breakaway roping, Hailey has qualified for the state finals rodeo every year, with honors including Region VIII Rookie of the Year and Reserve All-Around Cowgirl in 2010, Region VIII All-Around Cowgirl in 2011, and the 2011 THSRA state champion barrel racer, making her a member of the team champions, Texas, at the 2011 National High School
Finals Rodeo!

Hailey resides on the family ranch outside of Cotulla, Texas where she homeschools and devotes all her spare time to her chosen sport, rodeo, as well as 4-H and church activities. She was blessed to grow up in a rodeo/ranching family, so she receives an incredible amount of help and support from her parents, Dan and Leslie Kinsel, and her older brother Matt. Hailey
would like to thank all who have encouraged her so that she could get this far! Because of her passion for rodeo, she plans to play an active role in promoting rodeo and THSRA throughout her remaining years of high school.
