Diving Deeper into the Desert with Maverick:
Born amidst the sprawling 9,320 square miles of the sagebrush steppe in the Red Desert of southwest Wyoming, Maverick’s 
early days were filled with adventures alongside his best pals, the Pronghorn and Sage Grouse.
Becoming a junior Mustang, Maverick quickly ascended to a place of honor and is ecstatic to serve Western Wyoming Community College. His commitment runs deep, rooting for the college’s teams through their highs and lows. From cheering for the Wrestling National Champions of 2023 to celebrating the 2020 Region 9 North victory in Men’s Basketball, Maverick’s enthusiasm knows no bounds. If there’s a game happening, look to the front row, and you’re sure to find this fervent fan cheering the loudest.
