Miss Rodeo Nebraska 2014 is Gina Jespersen.

Jespersen, of Hemingford, was crowned at opening night of the Buffalo Bill Rodeo Wednesday.

Jespersen was competing for the title against Dakota Clough, Emily Taylor and Tashonna Frye and took the win in the categories of horsemanship, personality, appearance, speech and the written test.

Toshonna Frye won the congeniality award and former Miss Teen Rodeo Nebraska, Dakota Clough, won the photogenic category.

Jespersen is an Early Childhood Education major at South Dakota State University, and said in an interview with The Post that she would someday like to teach Elementary School in a small community.

She will be the lady-in-waiting until January.
