Robertson, Miss Rodeo America 2004, thrives on setting goals and achieving
them. But for this highly successful cowgirl,
winning the title "First
Lady of Professional Rodeo" ranks as her crowning achievement
so far. She is the 49th young lady to earn this distinct honor.

take a year off from her studies in biochemistry and biotechnology at
California
Polytechnic
University
to promote the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association across the country.
She is expected to travel approximately 100,000 miles to over 100 rodeos
and related events throughout the year.
After her reign, she plans to utilize her scholarship
funds to complete her undergraduate work and then attend Stanford School
of
Medicine
to study anesthesiology.
In addition to rodeo, Miss Robertson enjoys riding,
training and showing her American Quarter Horses. Currently, her primary
horse
is a
four-year
old sorrel gelding named Plum's Flashy. Although he's bred for cutting,
she is training him for reining and other events. He's already proven
to be a proud flag bearer at the local rodeos.
Singing, dancing, restoring classic cars, snowmobiling, cowboy poetry,
playing guitar, kick boxing, playing the piano, camping, hiking, rock
climbing, off-roading, skiing, photography, musical theatre and target
practice are
a few of her other hobbies.
Darci's has chosen to participate in the ongoing
effort to keep youth from exposure to illegal drugs. She is an active
member
is
both
D.A.R.E.
(Drug
Abuse Resistance Education) and S.A.D. (Society Against Drugs).
An elegant and statuesque figure standing tall
at 5'10" with
hazel eyes and flowing blonde tresses, Miss Robertson speaks boldly of
her faith
and commitment.
"There is no better way to show my faith in God,
my family and my country, while promoting and preserving the America traditions
and
pride
found in
the sport of rodeo, than to serve as Miss Rodeo America, " says
Darci Robertson, Miss Rodeo America 2004.
