About Sissy Winn
“I really can’t express how happy I am to receive this prestigious award and meet those who so generously continue with this fun tradition.”
Winn is not only a WPRA barrel racer, who is sitting fifth in the world standing currently, she was also a former Miss Rodeo Texas Princess and Miss Rodeo Texas Teen.
“It is such an honor to receive the Jerry Ann Taylor award while at the FWSSR last week, said Winn. “As a little girl, I made an appearance as the Miss Rodeo Texas Princess at the FWSSR and again a few years later when I was crowned Miss Rodeo Texas Teen. My life has really come full circle doing what I love: dressing up and running barrels.”
