An All-Around Cowgirl
By Krista Lucas Wynn
The all-around is a prestigious title to win in any association in the rodeo world. Mekenna Davis, a high school senior from Huntsville, Texas, won the coveted title, not only in the United Professional Rodeo Association but also the Cowboys Professional Rodeo Association, a rare feat especially at such a young age.
The UPRA is based in Texas and spans across six southern states. Many competitors proudly call Texas home, with several past champions being featured in NTFR over the years. Davis has been a member of the CPRA for two years and just recently joined the UPRA in 2022. She competes in barrel racing and breakaway roping, and is no stranger to success in the rodeo arena, previously winning in the youth and high school ranks.
“I started riding when I was two, and never stopped after that. My father, Rusty, owns the trailer store in Huntsville and sells skid steer equipment,” Davis said. “I go help him with sales and deliver and pick up trailers and equipment. I also enjoy being with family and being around the people I care for and love.”
