Queen Creek High grad Kennadee Riggs wins Miss Rodeo America 2023

Riggs plans to showcase culture of kindness and her Arizona roots as she represents Miss Rodeo America across the country throughout the next year.

Queen Creek High School alum Kennadee Riggs has been crowned Miss Rodeo America 2023 after recently winning the competition in Las Vegas.

"Congratulations, Queen Creek's own Kennadee Riggs is the reigning Miss Rodeo America 2023," the Queen Creek Unified School District posted on social media. "We're so proud of you and can't wait to watch you continue to shine as you share your Arizona roots with the world!"

Riggs is a Queen Creek High graduate who also attended Queen Creek Junior High, Newell Barney Junior High and Jack Barnes Elementary. She is studying sports journalism and says her educational foundation with Queen Creek Unified has given her more than just academic knowledge.

"I love drawing back on my school days not only from what I learned academically, but also from showing and receiving kindness," she said.

In her new role, Riggs will showcase that culture of kindness and her Arizona roots as she represents Miss Rodeo America across the country throughout the next year.
