Lena Coulson was crowned Miss California Rodeo Salinas 2017 on July 20, 2017. She will has represented the California Rodeo Salinas at events throughout the state for the next year.
Lena is a proud
resident of the Salinas Valley. Her parents are James and Cecilia Coulson of
Salinas. Lena just finished her first year of college at Cuesta, and has
transferred to Feather River College where she will continue her agricultural
aspirations.
Learning
to ride horses at an early age considerably shaped her future with the hands on
lessons of responsibility and hard work. Lena became a member of National Cutting Horse Association at the
age of twelve to successfully compete in reining classes but now has her sights
set on barrel racing. She will be competing on the rodeo team for Feather River
College. One of her biggest goals is to eventually qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
Her
membership in 4-H gave her lifelong friends, experience with animals and most
of all a knowledge of her agricultural community. Lena cherishes the moments
when she can give back to the community.
