Miss Rodeo Beats Cancer

We all need good news occasionally.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Miss Rodeo North Dakota Ashley Andrews had goals of beating cancer and winning the Miss Rodeo America crown. She accomplished both.

Andrews, 21, was crowned Saturday at the 52nd annual Miss Rodeo America Pageant in Las Vegas, beating out competitors from 28 states in categories such as horsemanship, personality and appearance.

She said her cancer has been in remission since Aug. 9, following months of chemotherapy. "I have a clean bill of health," Andrews said in a telephone interview Saturday.

Congratulations to Miss Andrews.
