Miss Teen Rodeo Florida

Mallory Waugh

From the state where the tea is sweet and the sun is hot, My name is Lacie Stark and I am absolutely honored to be the 2025 Miss Rodeo Florida.

My love for rodeo and agriculture started when I was just 5 years old! I grew up working cows on the VIDA ranch, riding in the Silver Spurs Quadrille team and competing in rodeo queen pageants. I have had the privilege of being the 2016 Miss Teen Rodeo Florida as well as the 2017 Miss Silver Spurs.

In 2019, I obtained my Florida Cosmetology License, and now, run my own business as an independent hairstylist. In my free time I love to spend time with my 2 dogs, Booger and Kacie as well as my 4 nieces and 2 nephews. If I am not in the salon, or riding horses you might find me in the woods hunting deer or turkey.

Throughout my year as Miss Rodeo Florida I want to promote my platform “Be Uniquely, YOU.” This platform encourages individuals to recognize and embrace their uniqueness being uniquely. You is not just about standing out. It’s about standing, true to yourself your values and your passions.

As Miss Rodeo Florida 2025 I hope to show girls that they can do anything with a great pair of cowgirl boots and a fearless attitude.

A fourth-generation cowgirl with roots that run deep way up in the bluegrass state, Mallory currently resides in her small hometown of Fort White Florida. She is the oldest daughter of Jade and Shawn Waugh and is elder sister to her 5 younger siblings. Mallory is an honor roll student at Optima Academy Online and has maintained a 4.0 gpa throughout her middle and high school years. Mallory enjoys raising and showing market hogs, as well as playing volleyball at First Christian Academy where she has been the captain of the varsity volleyball team for the past 3 years. Mallory has had the opportunity to share her horsemanship knowledge and love for the sport with cowboys and cowgirls of all ages as a riding instructor at her family’s barn. Mallory has spent her childhood and early teen years competing in rodeo pageants, as well as trail riding and sorting with her grandfather, who she calls “Pappy”.

Mallory intends to attend college locally with hopes of becoming a pediatric nurse. Inspired by the nurses who have helped her family, she wants to be able to comfort families in the same way. Mallory seeks to live a humble life, sharing joy and the love of God with everyone she encounters. Mallory is beyond grateful for the opportunity to represent Florida and promote rodeo while setting an example for the next generation of cowgirls as your 2025 Miss Teen Rodeo Florida.

Tessa McCommon

Tessa Ann McCommon is a 14-year-old from Saint Cloud, Florida. As the youngest of four siblings, she has carved out her own unique path, particularly through her involvement in the Kenansville Critters 4H club. With seven years of experience showing market hogs at the Osceola County Fair, Tessa has developed a strong passion for the agricultural community.

In addition to her 4H activities, Tessa values her native Floridian roots by spending as much time as possible at on the beaches, in the woods hunting with her brother and camping with her family. Her determination shines through as she participates in various rodeo events including chute dogging and goat tying. She hopes to start competing in other events as time allows.

In addition to her achievements in 4H and rodeo, Tessa has big dreams for her future. She plans to pursue a business degree, followed by attaining her cosmetology license, with the intention to one day open her own salon.

Tessa is excited to be serving as the 2025 Miss Rodeo Florida Princess and hoping to make a positive impact during her reign as she serves throughout the state of Florida. She is looking forward to connecting with fellow rodeo fans, sharing her love for the sport, and inspiring others to pursue their dreams as she continues her journey.
