“Ever since I was in eighth grade I really found my passion for rodeo and I really wanted to come to Cochise because of the attraction of how hard we work and also because I’m not too far from home,” Maycee said.
DOUGLAS, Ariz. — Maycee Michaels grew up on a ranch just outside Willcox. That's where she first realized her passion for horses.
The Willcox High School graduate's love of horses led her to begin competing in rodeos. Maycee's mother Shelley Michaels said in junior high school Maycee made the decision that she wanted to go to Cochise College and be on the school's rodeo team. Fast forward five years and Maycee is gearing up for the spring season with her teammates at Cochise College.
One of the perks of competing close to home is knowing family and friends can watch you compete. Maycee knows her family will be in the stands on Saturday when the Cochise College women open their spring season in Tucson.
