Year Inducted: 2001

The only cowgirl to claim three world championships for trick and fancy roping, Flores was undefeated in that event. Growing up on a Sioux reservation, she began her career with a wild west show and there met her husband, Guy Weadick. Together, they organized and produced the first Calgary Stampede along with operating a dude ranch and producing smaller rodeos. Flores is reputed to have been the first trick roper to perform the trick known as the Texas Skip.
