Hello, my name is Zerbilynn Mitchell. I am Coyote Pass, born for Within his Cover Clan people, my maternal grandparents are Tangle Clan people and my paternal grandparents are Red Running into the Water Clan. I live in Spider Rock, AZ. I am in 8th grade at Chinle Junior High School. I am excited to be 2025 Indian Junior Rodeo Association (IJRA) Queen. I am looking forward to competing with  my fellow rodeo  contestants throughout the year.  I look forward to encouraging a good time and growing through the association.  My greatest love is bull riding and have aspirations to proceed to Indian National Finals Rodeo (INFR) and eventually becoming a female bullrider with the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) .  I dream of becoming a stock contractor for both bulls and goats.  My favorite numbers are 8 and 13 and wish to see those numbers reflected in the amount of stock I have.  I wish to help mentor and help other bull riders.  I wish to help teach others through the mistakes and struggles I faced and will face in my three years learning bull riding and rodeo in general.  I have a love for the Traditional Navajo way and wish to incorporate these beliefs through my work with IJRA.  My favorite event to watch is team roping, bull riding, and barrel racing.  I enjoy seeing the energy and skill my fellow rodeo contestants bring to the arena.  Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve our community as your Queen.
