Nazareth College senior Kali Knickerbocker kept winning so often on November 19th that we had to take her picture multiple times. The final photo we took of Kali was after she won the ride-off for high point rider. Kali's Mother is on the left.

CORNELL STAYS UNBEATEN BUT NOT UNTIED AS HOST NAZARETH EQUALS THEM, 37-ALL

Ithaca, NY - Under different circumstances this story would have been written and posted prior to the first of the year. If you are reading this you have stumbled upon a story written well after the November 19th Nazareth College show took place.

Because Campus Equestrian is a one-man operation (at least throughout the 2011-12 season) this writer had a backlog of stories to write as calendar year 2011 was coming to a close. During the previous season I attended a February 2011 Zone 2, Region 1 show hosted by Cornell University. However due to car trouble I could not stay until the end. As a result my story on the Cornell show was passable but not the best due to not having all the results and as much information as I usually gather. I felt that when it was time to write the next Zone 2, Region 1 story it had better be one of my best efforts (and I hoped to stay all the way through the show!).

That next show turned out to be a November 19th, 2011 event hosted by Nazareth College. For several years Nazareth Head Coach Terese Bouchard had encouraged me to come to one of her shows at Lehman Farm instead of my usual visits to Cazenovia and St. Lawrence (Nazareth was a member of Zone 2, Region 2 at that time). The convenience of Cazenovia and the fact that several St. Lawrence shows fell on dates in December which did not conflict with any other IHSA shows the same day made them too good to pass up. However when the new Zone 2, Region 1 was created Cornell had the only facility within four hours driving distance of my front door in New Jersey. If I could not fit a Cornell show into the schedule then a drive further west into New York state was inevitable. My one and only visit to Zone 2, Region 1 during 2011-12 would be to Lehman Farm in Pittsford, New York. I had in fact been to Lehman Farm once before, when Rochester Institute of Technology hosted a Zone 2, Region 2 show in October of 2009 prior to the mid-2010 region realignment.

Located less than ten miles south of the city of Rochester, Lehman Farm is a nice place if you are going to be at a horse show for awhile. Though the facility has portable toilets (which are unusually kept indoors in a corridor leading to many horse stalls) there are also real restrooms located off the kitchen area or 'Food Room' as I call it. The heated food room has picnic tables for many individuals to sit on between classes. Sometimes vendors come to IHSA shows held at Lehman and set up their mobile tack shops just outside the exterior entrance to the food room. Lehman Farm also has two 'warm rooms' off the indoor, where people can go to warm up and still see some of what is going on in the ring (one of these rooms is really for show personel). People in the warm rooms can't truly see everything as spectators who are up against the fence will generally block the view. Yet if you are waiting to watch something in particular the warm room is the place to go until that time comes.

Cornell University senior Caroline Rusk (on left, with Head Coach Chris Mitchell) won both of her novice classes to qualify for the ride-off. Cornell was averaging 40 points per show through five fall shows which explains why they were unbeaten to that point.

Upon arrival I went to the warm room where the show secretary is located and picked up my program. There were three schools I was hoping would be in attendance, as I had never seen the College at Brockport, Alfred State College or St. John Fisher College IHSA teams in person. Two out of three were in fact entered, with St. John Fisher the only holdout (though St. John Fisher did compete in IHSA shows during the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons they would not enter any in 2011-12 as it turned out). Both the College at Brockport and Alfred State College teams were in their second season of IHSA competition. I attempted to track down riders and coaches from these two teams so I could explain a little about what Campus Equestrian is and ask permission to take a few photographs. Though Alfred State was made up of only two riders on this day I was able to find both and their coaches. David Kendrick and Victoria Bolton co-coach Alfred State while Emilija Anderson (senior, from Tully, New York) and Caitlyn Kellogg (senior, Bath, New York) fill half the point card. Anderson fills both of the intermediate divisions while Kellogg fills the novice. Anderson faired the best of these two on November 19th, placing third in intermediate fences and fifth in intermediate flat. I also found the Brockport team and their coach Jolene Hasseler (who was Jolene Male when she graduated from S.U.N.Y. - Morrisville in 2001 as the school was then known). Brockport had six riders entered, though only five divisions were filled due to four members of the Golden Eagles being novice flat and fences riders.

There were a few other coaches I had not met before. I located the University of Buffalo team, who are offically coached by Libby McNabb. McNabb does not attend all of the Bull's shows due to commitments at her own facility and on this day Justin Meyer was coaching in her place. After meeting Meyer I met Dee Maltzan, the new assistant coach to Jean Raposa at Hamilton College. Though Alfred University (not to be confused with Alfred State College) had a new coach for the 2011-12 season I had already met Nancy Kohler, who is not only the hunter seat coach but also the director of riding at Alfred.

Usually once I have a program in hand and after having met any new coaches I will track down the riders scheduled to compete in the first class if time permits. Most IHSA shows start with an open level class, and save for shows which are coincidentally opening day events I will have some idea which riders are leading the open rider standings at the time. I will seek out these riders to get their photo and to confirm their year in school and their hometown so that if they win I can mention where they are from (some IHSA team websites - such as those for Nazareth and Cornell - have this information though most do not). The first photo of the day turned out to be of Cornell senior Katie Fink, who was in the top five at the time if I recall correctly. Since I had not yet met Alfred University freshman Olivia Costich her photo was intended to be next. However I met her in the company of much of the Saxons team and everybody wanted to be in a picture! I reached a compromise and took one photo of five Alfred riders with Kohler and IEA team coach Rebecca Jacobson (who was helping out) and another of only Costich.

If you want one you've got to photograph them all! From left to right are Alfred University riding director and hunter seat coach Nancy Kohler, Megan Burke, Audrey Lobue, Amelia Keyes, Olivia Costich, Kalcy O'Keefe and Alfred IEA coach Rebecca Jacobson. I had hoped to get a picture of Costich (who was the only freshman open rider over two sections of open fences) but so many Saxons wanted in that a group photo was necessary. O'Keefe (who went on to represent Region 1 at 2012 Nationals in the AQHA High Point Open Rider class) won the open fences class which started the day.

Bouchard, assistant coach Jen Page and everyone else involved with the Nazareth program ran things so efficiently prior to the start of the show that the first horse for open flat was in the ring at 8:57AM, three minutes before the show was scheduled to start! As a result I then pursued riders in the second section of open flat and the intermediate sections which followed. Slowly but surely I took plenty of photos and found out where the majority of riders were from (their hometowns that is) and their year in school. Meanwhile Alfred University senior Kalcy O'Keefe (from Rochester, New York) won the first open flat class while Fink (also a senior, from Baltimore, Maryland) was second.

I was unable to speak to one of the most local rider of the day, Nazareth's Kali Knickerbocker, until after she won the second section of open flat for the Golden Flyers. From Pittsford (same town as Lehman Farm) Knickerbocker was also within the top five of the Region 1 open rider standings entering the day. Since Knickerbocker was chatting with her grandmother I asked if I could take a picture of the two of them together. As happens about 40 percent of the time the relative of the rider is 'less than enthusiastic' to be photographed. However Kali convinced her grandmother to be in the photo and this picture would appear on the Campus Equestrian Zone 2, Region 1 page for a few months. Erica Schillbach of Ithaca College (junior, Londonderry, New Hampshire) was second in section B. Perhaps I jinxed Costich by taking her photo as she was sixth in this section.

Three sections of Intermediate flat followed. Kim Toop of Hamilton College (sophomore, Louisville, Kentucky) won the first section which provided me the opportunity to get new assistant coach Maltzan into a photo with her. Second in section A was Cheryl Movsesian of the University of Buffalo (sophomore, Windham, New Hampshire) who posed with Meyer for a photo. This was the division where Anderson placed third for Alfred State. Section B made it four schools with four blue ribbons as Georgiana deRham of Cornell University came through with the Big Red's first blue ribbon of the day. The freshman from Bristol, Rhode Island would finish the day undefeated as deRham rode only this one time. Runner-up was Nazareth College junior Megan Christopher, who is also from the town of Pittsford, New York. Christopher posed for a photo with Jen Nyhan Page, whose sister Kelly Nyhan had been an assistant Coach for several seasons prior to 2011-12 (the Nyhan sisters were both part of the 2010-11 Nazareth staff). The third section of intermediate flat was the only section with seven riders (the others had eight). Alfred won their second blue ribbon of the day as Katie LeSuer (senior, Erie, Pennsylvania) took the last class before the jumping divisions started. Katie Hutchins (senior, New Canaan, Connecticut) was second for Hamilton.

Save for co-coach Victoria Bolton, everyone associated with the Alfred State College team that was present at Lehman Farm on March 19th is in this photo. From left to right are Caitlyn Kellogg (who showed in the novice divisions), co-coach David Kendrick and Emilija Anderson (who rode in the intermediate divisions) This is the second season for the Alfred State team (and hopefully they have other riders in the pipeline as Kellogg and Anderson are seniors). Alfred State is part of the SUNY system and not directly associated with similarly-named Alfred University.

Because open and intermediate flat riders had walked, trotted and cantered around the jumps there was very little delay between the end of class 5C and the start of class 8A. After all eight open riders had completed the course Judge Gary Duffy choose Maria Van Buskirk of Ithaca College as the winner. A freshman from Chester, New Jersey, Van Buskirk was one of four riders in section 8A who had also competed in section 7A to start the day. O'Keefe took the early lead in possible high point rider or ride-off scenarios, as the Alfred senior finished second. Back-to-back New Jersey residents were blue ribbon winners as Alyx Cheng of Cornell won section 8B. A sophomore from Summit, New Jersey, Cheng finished one place ahead of Buffalo's Becca Mayville, one of very few reserve champion riders at Lehman Farm I somehow forgot to take a photo of (at least in a non-group picture). There was a third section of open fences. O'Keefe would now have to hope for reserve high point rider honors as Knickerbocker won her second blue ribbon of the day. Earlier I had taken a photo of the University of Rochester's Grace Weiss with teammate Sarah Catheline and Head Coach Peggy Gauger as both Weiss and Catheline were seniors competing in separate sections of open fences. While Catheline was fifth in section B Weiss (from Seattle, Washington) was second behind Knickerbocker in section C. Following the 2010 IHSA Re-alignment the University of Rochester remained in Zone 2, Region 2 but Gauger requested to be moved into Zone 2, Region 1 for the 2011-12 season to reduce travel (some quirks within the 2010 re-alignment included two schools in the city of Buffalo in different regions as well as the University of Rochester being the only school in the greater Rochester area having to go east). The University of Rochester was allowed to move, becoming the only school new to Region 1 in 2011-12 though many Region 1 teams had already competed against the Yellowjackets in previous seasons.

There were three sections of intermediate fences. Emily Kowalchik became the third Cornell rider of the day to win a class when the junior from Loveland, Ohio won section A. Kowalchik finished one place ahead of Christopher, who became the first rider on this day with two red ribbons. Amelia Keyes (junior, Penfield, New York) followed teammates O'Keefe and LeSuer into the winner's circle by earning the blue ribbon in section B. Though 'Amelia' might not seem like the most common name the red ribbon winner in 6B also has this first name. Amelia Green of Binghamton University (sophomore, from Carlisle, Pennsylvania) was the reserve champion in the section. Cornell drew even with Alfred in the blue ribbon department following the announcement of intermediate fences section C. Caroline Rusk of the Big Red (senior, Marlboro, New York) won this class, with Bailey Blough of Nazareth second. Listed as 'Amy Blough' in most IHSA show programs, the Golden Flyers freshman actually goes by her middle name Bailey. From Ontario, New York Blough rode for the Mercy IEA team (coached by University of Rochester's Gauger) prior to enrolling at Nazareth.

During the 21 minute schooling break (that's how long it was between the announcement of sixth place in section C of intermediate fences and the first rider entering the ring for section A of novice fences) I was not only able to photograph two Cornell riders with the 'inflatable Thanksgiving Turkey' located in one of the corridors I even persuaded Cornell Head Coach Chris Mitchell to take a picture of myself with the turkey. While the photo I took of Emily Kowalchik and Emily Webster of Cornell came out so well that it appeared on the Campus Equestrian home page on Thanksgiving day, my photo was not usuable because too many dust particles were circulating when I stood beside the turkey. I will have to learn to step carefully when in the vicinity of inflatable holiday decorations in the future.

Let's get the seniors in a photo with the coach! University of Rochester seniors Sarah Catheline (on left) and Grace Weiss (on right) pose with Yellowjackets head coach Peggy Gauger (who ironically is not wearing a yellow jacket). Weiss was second in open fences. Both riders would later go to Regionals (Weiss in open fences, Catheline in intermediate fences). The University of Rochester is the only school to change regions within Upstate New York over the past two seasons, leaving Region 2 for Region during the summer of 2011.

From the results of the first of five sections of novice over fences it appears that Nazareth College must scout Lehman Farm and the nearby residents in hopes the locals will become members of the Golden Flyers equestrian team. Kasey Pollot of Nazareth won the first section, making the sophomore the third member of her team to go top-two today and coincidentally be a Pittsford resident! Avery Breneiser of Ithaca College was second (aw shucks I didn't get a picture nor find out what year Breneiser is in school or her hometown). Hamilton College earned their second blue ribbon of the day when Chelsea Ziegelbaum (sophomore, Scarsdale, New York) won the second section. Amelia Maslen (yes, another Amelia) was second for Alfred. The University of Buffalo was a winner for the first time on this day thanks to Kelly McCaskey, a senior from East Aurora, New York who won section C. Lillye Anderson (freshman, Wellesley, Massachusetts) was second for the University of Rochester. For the second time today Ithaca won a blue ribbon when Sarah Farmer-Smith won section 4D. The sophomore from Harleysville, Pennsylvania was one place better than Tesla Parker of Alfred. Though listed in the back of the program as entered in both intermediate flat and novice fences, Parker (Junior, Waitsfield, Vermont) was accidentally left off the page listing all the riders scheduled to compete in section 4D. Hobart and William Smith Colleges had not placed a rider in the top two through the first 15 classes. Laura Christie put a stop to that as she won the final section of novice fences before the second schooling break (also considered the lunch break). One thing Campus Equestrian is unsure of is if Christie goes to Hobart or William Smith. The two schools are combined but if Christie goes to Hobart I would call her a 'Statesman' but if she goes to William Smith Christie is a 'Heron!' Just as Hobart and William Smith had not been in the top two, neither had Rochester Institute of Technology. Kelly Hurley (sophomore, Chester, New Jersey) was second for the Tigers, who train at Lehman Farm as this is the base for RIT head coach Gail Miller.

Five sections of novice flat followed the second break. For the first time today Nazareth had a winner not from Pittsford, New York. Alexandra O'Borsky (sophomore, Maiden Rock, Wisconsin) won section 3A. O'Borsky had the distinction of riding in consecutive classes, having placed fourth in the final section of novice fences prior to the break. Carla Gaynor of Hobart & William Smith was second. Pollot and Rusk both had a chance to tie Knickerbocker for high point rider going into section B. While Pollot was third Rusk won the class to force a ride-off. Haleigh Marshall (sophomore, Williston, Vermont) was the second consecutive Hobart & William Smith rider to finish second (the Statesmen/Herons had now gone three classes in a row with a top-two placing). Sarah Apgar of Ithaca College (coincidentally from Ithaca, New York) won section C while Frank Torres of Binghamton University was the red ribbon winner. With Farmer-Smith placing fourth in section D the ride-off would be made up of only Knickerbocker and Rusk. Winning section D was Jess Repanes (senior, Dix Hills, New York) of Alfred University. Though they are known as the Big Red Amanda Sevcik (sophomore, Overland Park, Kansas) was the first Cornell rider since Fink at the start of the day to earn a red ribbon. Anderson, who had been second in section 4C won the University of Rochester's first blue ribbon of the day. Anderson finished one place ahead of Ithaca's Breneiser (who had two seconds at this point) for the blue ribbon in section 3E. Over ten novice classes eight different schools won blue ribbons.

Kelly McCaskey (holding blue ribbon) poses with several of her University of Buffalo teammates (and show coach Justin Meyer, on far left) after winning her novice fences class. The Bulls scored 21 points without riders in the walk-trot-canter or walk-trot divisions.

I was originally told that Judge Duffy would break a tie for high point rider with a question-and-answer session. However things changed and both Knickerbocker and Rusk in fact rode off between the final section of novice flat and the first section of advanced walk-trot-canter. When the ride-off was over Duffy selected Knickerbocker as high point. When asked if she had ever been high point rider at an IHSA show Knickerbocker surprised me by saying 'No.' In fact the senior had only twice been reserve high point rider, once as a sophomore and once more six days before today's show. It should be noted that during her freshman and sophomore seasons Knickerbocker would have competed against many St. Lawrence and Cazenovia riders at their facilities, not to mention that the old Zone 2, Region 2 contained over 15 schools at that time.

There were three sections of advanced walk-trot-canter. Taylor Desgrosseilliers became the second Hobart & William Smith rider to win outright as the sophomore from Middletown, Delaware won the first section. Nine different U.S. States (New York, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin, Massachusetts and Delaware) could each claim at least one blue ribbon winner at today's show up to this point (which from my travels in not a common occurance). Sarah Schron of Alfred University was second. Binghamton University was the ninth school of the day into the blue ribbon winner column. Michelle Yoffee (senior, Canandaigue, New York) won the second advanced walk-trot-canter section for the Bearcats while teammate Hannah Boronski (freshman, Hardwick, Massachusetts) was second. This marked the only time teammates placed one-two in the same section all day (nearly every class had one rider per team). Though Binghamton had no blue ribbon winners over the first 22 classes the Bearcats won back-to-back sections as Sarah Land was Section 2B-C. The sophomore from Allentown, Pennsylvania finished one place ahead of Atsede Scarseth of Alfred University.

The 25th class of the day was the first of two sections of beginner walk-trot-canter. Though not listed anywhere in the program Tiffany Wendt of Nazareth (junior, Lockport, New York) won the first beginner walk-trot-canter while Dijon Brooks of Alfred University was second. The host school swept the beginner sections as Alexis Khemili (freshman, Clifton Park, New York) won section B. Rochester Institute's final rider of the day was Courtney Luke (sophomore, Williamston, New York) and she placed second to Khemili to equal teammate Hurley's placing in novice fences.

The Hobart and William Smith riders must have arrived early, as they claimed more of the folding chairs at Lehman Farm than many other teams in attendance. Taylor Desgrosseilliers (second on left, holding blue ribbon) poses with many of her teammates after winning the first of three sections of advanced walk-trot-canter.

There were two sections of walk-trot, each made up of only six riders (save for section B of beginner walk-trot-canter each class had at least seven riders up to this point). Jamie Goldenberg (sophomore, Short Hills, New Jersey) won section A for Ithaca. Leah Krause was the first of two Hamilton College riders to place second in the walk-trot at today's show. Her Continental teammate Pearl Shin was second in section 1B. Winning the final class one place ahead of Shin was Katie Rong of Cornell University. The junior from Brooklyn, New York was the first Big Red rider to win a class since Rusk in novice flat some time earlier.

Going into the walk-trot classes host Nazareth had a chance to knock Cornell from the ranks of the unbeaten. The Big Red were four-and-0 entering the day and trailed going into the final two classes. However Cornell managed to draw even with Nazareth, both schools tieing at 37-all. This technically gave the Golden Flyers their first win of the year while keeping Cornell undefeated.

At shows in some regions (even sometimes in this one) a small number of schools will dominate the blue ribbons. At today's show the blue ribbon breakdown showed nine different schools earning at least one blue ribbon. Cornell and Nazareth earned six each; Ithaca and Alfred University earned four apiece; Hamilton, Binghamton and Hobart/William Smith each earned two while Buffalo and the University of Rochester finished with one each. For the second time in six days the University of Rochester earned a season-high 29 points. This placed the Yellowjackets a point ahead of Alfred for the day (by a 29-28 margin) and a point behind Ithaca (which scored 30 though the point sheets looked as though the Bombers scored 29 at the time). Alfred entered the day 27 points behind Cornell and though the Big Red were held under 40 points for the first time in 2011-12 the Saxons came away 36 behind but still second overall.

For a show made up of 28 classes, a ride-off and two schooling breaks host Nazareth should be commended for competing things in such timely fashion. The show started at 8:57AM and ended with the final placings announced at 3:35PM, not bad at all considering eight riders were entered in the majority of classes. So who would have to run the next show and try to make things go just as smoothly? Why Nazareth of course, as the Golden Flyers host back-to-backs with everyone (save for this writer) scheduled to return to Lehman Farm the next day.

From Chester, New Jersey, Maria Van Buskirk of Ithaca College (on right, with Bombers head coach Audra Ravo) was a blue ribbon winner in open fences. While Nazareth and Cornell tied for high point team with 37 points each on November 19th Ithaca was next with 30 points (one more than the points sheets stated when the show ended).

Armed with 66 photos and a program full of notes I headed first to dinner at the Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse located less than ten minutes from Lehman Farm before driving east to stay overnight in the Syracuse area in preparation for a Zone 2, Region 2 show at Cazenovia College. It had been a wonderful day in Pittsford, though it only dawned on me hours later that Elmira College did not take part in this particular show. In any event I had everything I needed to write a story, though with another Region 1 show taking place the next day I would probably need to wait until I received the points from that show to write the story.

Because of the way the Cazenovia College facility is set up I had hoped to have riders who won classes at that show go directly to my laptop computer and type in comments about their ride, their team, their coach or anything else they might want to talk about. This way the story on the show would be short but would be explained from the rider's point of view. However due to a combination of very cold temperatures and the fact that people seemed a bit more tense than the group I had encountered in Pittsford a day earlier I decided to simply write a full-length story on the Cazenovia show as well (which would take longer to do without all the comments). With several other IHSA shows I attended from October 15th through November 13th but had not yet written about I had hoped the Thanksgiving weekend would serve as a chance to catch up. Though some articles were written there were still several that weren't. Then came the Holiday Tournament of Champions, then IEA shows on consecutive weekends, then Christmas, etc. Slowly but surely I got closer and closer to having written stories about each of the fall IHSA shows I had attended. After the January 28th Winter Tournament of Champions I was within three stories of being all caught up. However the season started up again and the one story that could never be given the amount of time it deserved was the Nazareth show. As a result the story was not finished until June (!) which is why you are reading about it so late.

The College at Brockport is in their second season of IHSA competition and they are coached by Jolene Hasseler (on far right, who was Jolene Male when she graduated from what was then SUNY - Morrisville in 2001). Brockport scored 10 points for the day to give them 55 through five shows or 40 more than they scored in all of 2010-11.

Cornell went on to win the region for the second consecutive season, besting Alfred by a margin of 323-265. The Saxons did keep Cornell from winning all eight shows, defeating the Big Red 41-35 at the Alfred home show which concluded the regular season. Cornell senior Bronwyn Scrivens (senior, Spruce Grove, Alberta, Canada) won a nail-biter for the right to compete in the Cacchione Cup Competition at 2012 IHSA Nationals in Raleigh, North Carolina May 4th and 5th. Scrivens defeated Knickerbocker by a single point, 73-72. Van Buskirk and Schillbach were very much in that race, both ending the season with 69 points. Scrivens became the first rider in Cornell Equestrian Team history to compete in the Cacchione Class at Nationals. Though Cacchione ribbons were only awarded to tenth place Scrivens would have been eleventh as her combined flat and fences scores placed her in a tie for eleventh place. Because she had the better over fences round Scrivens was technically eleventh out of 36 entries.

Cornell had a full team at Zones but was fourth overall, ahead of Stony Brook University but behind Champion Skidmore College, runner-up St. Lawrence University and third place Sacred Heart University (though St. Lawrence lost Zones on April 7th the Saints were National Champions on May 5th, beating Skidmore 31-24). On April 22nd Cornell competed in the yearly Ivy League Invitational or 'All-Ivy's,' placing second to Brown University (which was third at IHSA Nationals with 17 points) by a 46-38 margin. After IHSA Nationals Cornell coach Mitchell was on to new pastures, in this case the Director of Riding position at Randolph College (which competes in IHSA Zone 4, Region 2). As of June 21st the Cornell Athletics website did not indicate a replacement for Mitchell had been hired.

I wish to apologize to all the nice people in Zone 2, Region 1 for my tardiness in posting this story. I hope I am forgiven. I included nine photos in this story, tieing the most I have ever included in a regular-season IHSA story posted on Campus Equestrian. Perhaps in 2012-13 I will be able to attend an entire Zone 2, Region 1 show and write about it in a timely manner. If I see trouble brewing (i.e. a backlog of other IHSA stories) perhaps I will put my laptop on a bridge table and ask each rider who wins to type something more entertaining than anything I can come up with. Now if St. John Fisher and Elmira can just show up then all will be perfect!
