Meet The 2017 Livermore Rodeo Queen

LIVERMORE, CA — A Livermore woman who raises cattle and attended veterinary school was selected as the 2017 Miss Livermore Rodeo Queen. Juliana Marciel, 23, will represent her city at the “World’s Fastest Livermore Rodeo” on June 10 and 11.

Her favorite quote, which could also be called a public service message to new riders is, “Don't squat with your spurs on."

To rope those rodeo crowns, or blinged-out fancy cowgirl hats, Marciel, a Livermore native competed three times, finally snagging the coveted spot this year. Marciel said her favorite part of the entire process was the horseback riding.

Marciel, who graduated from Livermore High, and graduated from Carrington College with an AS degree and a degree in Veterinary Technology, loves gymkhanas, hunting, a little archery, and raising her herd of cattle.

Queens are expected to be knowledgeable in rodeo rules, history, equine and livestock, animal diseases, and horsemanship. They make appearances and educate the public and promote rodeo.

In 2016, Michelle Hewitt was selected as Miss Livermore Rodeo Queen. The rodeo is located at 3000 Robertson Park Road.
