Krull were crowned on March 29th at the Lakeside Rodeo Grounds.
Up Close with Miss Rodeo Lakeside:

Each year, young women come from all over the county to compete for the
coveted title of Miss Rodeo Lakeside.  The pageant attracts those
interested in supporting the sport of rodeo and representing our Annual
Lakeside Rodeo.  Not only do these women have to be knowledgeable in
rodeo and current events, they have to be able to ride a horse extremely
well.  

Emily Gay, Miss Rodeo Lakeside 2008, knows what it takes to successfully
carry the rodeo queen title.  “I love talking to the public about the
dedication it takes to live a rodeo lifestyle,” said a 23-year-old Gay.  “And
there is no honor I’d rather have than being able to represent our rodeo
as Miss Rodeo Lakeside.”

Lakeside Rodeo Princess Janae Krull accompanies Emily to all Lakeside
Rodeo events sharing the benefits this local rodeo brings to Lakeside.

“I am proud that the Lakeside Rodeo is a non-profit organization that
donates over $100,000 to the youth of Lakeside each year,” says Janae, a
19-year-old Grossmont College student.  “Our rodeo is an entertainment
destination for San Diego County families and also a vital fundraiser for
Lakeside children.”

Winning the Miss Rodeo Lakeside crown is no easy task.  Contestants
have a full competition day with a horsemanship pattern, written test and
personality interview, and end with modeling, two impromptu questions
and a short speech.  Contestants start practicing together weeks before
the pageant to fine-tune their skills for the final night.  For some
contestants, it is their first time to model, speak in front of an audience or
undergo an interview.
