Madelaine McElwee is Miss Rodeo Wyoming 2022 but when she was just 16 years old she decided she was going to fly.
After working on her license in both Laramie and Cheyenne, she decided to go to Florida to not only achieve that goal but to experience a different part of the country. She has both her private and commercial license and has the goal of being a flight instructor once her Miss Rodeo Wyoming reign ends.
She also spent time in Alaska getting to experience more flying opportunities before she became Miss Rodeo Wyoming and she hasn’t stopped moving since.
