Of the 24 cowgirls from the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association who have qualified for the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo, six were part of the 2011 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

A few other ladies have played on ProRodeo’s biggest stage before, so there looks to be plenty of stars competing March 31-April 3 in Oklahoma City. Leading the way is Sherry Cervi, the three-time and reigning world champion from Marana, Ariz.

But the DNCFR field is going to be jam-packed with great competition, from the cowgirls to the outstanding animal athletes that have carried them there.
