ROUNDUP QUEEN - Mary Olney
2024 Roundup Royalty for Rodeo and Races
Why do you want to be the Crooked River Roundup Queen?
It would be an honor to be an ambassador for the prineville community and the professional sport of rodeo. I would educate people of all ages about the legendary Crooked River Roundup traditions, animals, agriculture, and the western way of life. I would strive to lead by example and encourage everyone that I meet to always have grit, work hard, and to chase their dreams!
Mary Makenna Olney Bio:
Mary Makenna Olney grew up on the Warm Springs Reservation. This is where she developed a deep love for animals, rodeo, and the western way of life. Growing up, she was very engaged in learning about her rich native culture. Mary graduated from Madras High School in 2019 with Honors. During that time she participated in Soccer, Cheer, Softball, National Honor Society, and Student Council. She was active in the Lyle Gap 4-H Club and President of the Madras FFA chapter. In the Fall of 2019, Mary set off to achieve a professional welding certification at Tulsa Welding School in Oklahoma. She took on a career in fabrication that would provide for her and her horses while she worked towards her long term career goals. Since then she has graduated from a Certified Nursing Assistant Training and acquired a full-time job as a Certified Nursing Assistant. This new career path will give her great direct patient care experience as she is currently working towards her biggest career goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. She is currently in pursuit of a nursing degree at Clackamas Community College. In her spare time, Mary loves helping her community and spending time with her horses. She enjoys going on long trail rides, working on new skills, and attending gaming competitions whenever she has the opportunity.
Mary Grew up attending the Crooked River Roundup and Horse Races and she is so grateful for the opportunity to try out for the 2024 Crooked River Roundup Queen position.
