My name is Dasia Grace, I am 16 years old and I am entering my senior year at Monticello High School. When I was 11 I joined the Illinois Junior Rodeo Association where I competed in pole bending and barrels. I have also competed in barrels at the annual rodeo that the Piatt County Trail Blazers puts on every year. I have been a member of the Piatt County Trail Blazers since I was 8 years old. I was a part of the pivot team for two years, and I am honored to be their 2026 Rodeo Queen.
