2024 Phillipsburg Rodeo Queen Kendall Hackerott
Kendall Hackerott has been crowned as the 2024 Phillipsburg Rodeo queen.
The eighteen-year-old cowgirl is a resident of Canton, Kan.
A student at Cloud County Community College in Concordia, Kan., she is working towards an associates degree in animal science and will graduate in May of 2026.
During her high school years, Kendall was a member of the Kansas High School Rodeo Association, competing in the barrel racing, pole bending, team roping and trap shooting. She qualified for the National High School Finals in 2024 in trap shooting.
Kendall held three queen titles before winning the Phillipsburg title. She was the 2021 Miss NCK (North Central Kansas) Rodeo Queen (Concordia, Kan.); the 2022 El-Kan Western Riders Rodeo Queen (Ellsworth), and the 2023 Miss Ellis County Rodeo Queen (Hays).
Her hobbies include reading and baking, with her specialty being her great-grandma’s pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. She likes making homemade bread and brownies, and her younger brother really likes her pumpkin pie.
Kendall first attended the Phillipsburg rodeo three years ago, when she came to it as visiting royalty. It was one of the first PRCA rodeos she’d attended.
“I fell in love” with the Phillipsburg rodeo, she said. “The feel of it was so different, so enticing to me. I loved it.”
Kendall has two brothers, Colton and Kyler. She is the daughter of Tony and Brandy Hackerott.
