Omaha

Semi-finalist 2009

A native of Omaha, Haley Herold was crowned Miss Nebraska USA on 24 October 2010 and represented Nebraska at the Miss USA 2011 pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada.

2011 bio:

On Sunday, October 24, Haley Herold was crowned Miss Nebraska USA 2011 at the Rococo Theatre in Lincoln. The 22 year old Omaha native graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communications after graduating high school early to study at The Spanish Language Institute in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Haley is the oldest daughter of Bob and Sondra and has two siblings, sister Kiley and brother Riley. Growing up Haley participated competitively in dance, swimming, basketball, volleyball, and Olympic Development soccer. Through age 12, Haley spent part of each year traveling to different locations across the country with her parents, as her father was a professional baseball coach. During those years she had opportunity to get to know professional baseball players her father coached, Mike Sweeney, Carlos Beltran and Michael Jordan among others.

Haley enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading a good book, exercising, and has had opportunities to model in Latin America.

In her year as Miss Nebraska USA, Haley is working with the Adam Herold Memorial Fund, a foundation that is set up in honor of her cousin who was killed while serving his country in Iraq. Since 2007, contributions to the fund have supported The Wounded Warrior Support Group, Homes For Our Troops (an organization that builds adapted houses for severely wounded veterans and their families), and the St. Cecilia Education Fund.
