In a 𝑏𝑦𝑔𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑒𝑟𝑎, long before social media, a fearless female athlete made history with her daring feats.

𝑱𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒌𝒐𝒘𝒔𝒌𝒊 was her name, and her incredible story would have gone viral had the internet existed back then. This pioneering cowgirl made headlines by competing against men at the highest level in professional bull riding, taking on the toughest bulls and even suffering a gruesome injury that would have sent shockwaves across social media platforms.

“If you believe in yourself, and give 1,000 percent, it will happen, just like it did for me.”

In 1992, Jonckowski became the first woman to compete at the elite Justin World Bull Riding Championship in Scottsdale, Arizona, paving the way for future generations of female rodeo stars.

“To have people telling you every day all the different ways you can’t do it, and shouldn’t do it, that just fueled her fire”
