Olivia Dibble is shocked at how fast the year has flown by since she was first crowned Miss Riverton 2025. As she hands over her title at the end of March, Dibble hopes she leaves the city in a better place. 

The Riverton High grad said her love for the city reflects a lifelong dedication to its people and community. She is honored to have been chosen to represent Riverton over the last year.

“I’ve loved this city and getting to know people and all the things that I’m so passionate about,” Dibble said. “I’ve been building up for this position my whole life, without even knowing it, and I think that has helped me a lot throughout my reign.”

Dibble said serving with the Miss Riverton Royalty attendants, Loren DeGraaff and Jane Rutherford, made her year even better. They spent the summer riding in 14 parades and attended numerous city events to support the community. 

Through her platform, The Language of Music, Dibble was able to co-direct and help choreograph the city’s production of “The Little Mermaid.” She’s also learned how to create music programs and platforms that are more sustainable in achieving her goals, and how to make them more effective.

“It was the kids who were kind of quieter, that when I showed them what they could do and how they were evolving and how they were doing the steps correctly, it impacted them so much,” she said. “I think that is how my focus has changed, focusing on how I can start with the little things and then expand it from there.”

The next few months will be busy as Dibble prepares for the Miss Utah Competition in June and gets ready to start at Salt Lake Community College’s music production program in the fall. 

She said preparation for the Miss Utah event has helped her develop confidence, poise and the ability to hold conversations with people from all types of backgrounds. Dibble believes serving as Miss Riverton has helped her grow over the last year in ways she never considered. Riverton Mayor Tish Buroker said Dibble’s impact on the community has been immense.

“She has been such a positive ray of sunshine, and she has come to every event and come to events she didn’t even need to come to,” Buroker said. “She and her royalty get along so well. She’s marvelous. I’ve really enjoyed following her this past year.”

As the role of Miss Riverton is given to a new young woman, Dibble advises her to embrace the journey, craziness and all, and appreciate the role by being the best representative for the city. 

“It changes you and transforms you,” Dibble said. “It’s peeling back the layers to make you a better person. Let things happen and focus on all the amazing things happening in the moment. There are things that are stressful, and there are things to do, but there are so many amazing things happening. Have so much fun with your attendants, because that was one of my favorite parts of this whole thing. It’s just a wonderful time.”
