Janie Johnson has deep roots in the Western lifestyle. With rodeo parents and a continued passion to compete as a cardholder in the WPRA, Janie has made a career for herself in TV.  She is a host of Western Sports Round-Up on The Cowboy Channel, and also travels as a field reporter at PRCA rodeos and events, including RFD-TV’s The American, and the Wrangler NFR. Janie earned her Bachelor of Science from the University of Texas in Radio/TV/Film. While she continues to barrel race, she also enjoys working on her family ranch in Canyon, Texas. 

Future for women: “My vision is for women from all different walks of life to come together to support one another, and even more importantly to support this sport and Western way of life that we all share and love. The common goal is to better the industry, and women have the opportunity to be a part of every step.”
