IHSA ZONE 3 - REGION 3

Through October 21st six Centenary University riders had qualified for Regionals including Jacqueline "Jackie" Haitz (pictured, between her parents). The senior from Malvern, Pennsylvania won her limit flat class at the October 21st United States Military Academy show to clinch a ride in that division at the Regional show in March of '24. And at that point Haitz was at 28 points in intermediate fences.

All the photos on this page come from the October 14th State University of New York at New Paltz show, during which Marist College riders placed first and second in each of the first two limit fences classes. Katey O'Brien (on left, a sophomore from Southampton, New York) and Cadence Schneider (on right, a freshman from Wilbraham, Massachusetts) of the Red Foxes were first and second, respectively in section 4A. Freshmen Ellen Schroeter (first) and Avery Lauricela (second) did likewise in the next section. Through four shows O'Brien was the only rider in the entire region to qualify for Regionals in two classes, crossing that off the to-do list in both limit divisions.

The USMA show on 10/21 was the fourth of seven fall shows scheduled in Region 3, so by the time you read this Maya Osborn of the State University of New York at New Paltz (pictured) may have pointed out over the jumps. A sophomore from Cold Spring, New York, Osborn won her limit fences at USMA which put her at 31 points. And if you are new to keeping score a rider needs 36 points in all the divisions except the two open classes to qualify in a given division (open riders need 28).

Another rider who was close to a trip to Regionals after four shows is Kayla Kiniry of the United States Military Academy. A junior from San Antonio, Texas, Kiniry (on right, with head coach Sherry Cashman) was at 33 points in intermediate flat headed into the November 11th Vassar College show.

Sarah Lawrence College had two riders qualified for Regionals through October 21st and one of them is senior Rebecca Willson (pictured). From Oakland, California, Willson pointed out of novice equitation at the September 30th Centenary show. Eleven different Gryphons had shown at least once through 10/21 and the SLC point card often shows six divisions filled.

Centenary University won each of their first four shows of the 2023-24 season, and on top of the open rider standings by a single point at that time was second semester freshman Isabel Rudaz (pictured). From Westport, Connecticut, Rudaz held a 39-38 lead on teammate Ben Hoban while Rebecca Kaplan (at 35 points) and Caroline Mancini (at 31) also of Centenary were next. The Cyclones hosted two shows in a single day on November 18th to close out the Region 3 fall schedule, but it won't be the last show of 2023 with an IHSA connection for Centenary or Marist. Both of these Region 3 schools are entered in the Holiday Tournament of Champions invitational on December 2nd, with the likes of Skidmore, St. Lawrence, Mount Holyoke, Miami of Ohio, Sacred Heart and Savannah College of Art & Design all making the trip to Long Valley, New Jersey where Centenary will host the event for the first time since December of 2015.
