"What's Fun? WINNING!" says the Bridgewater Equestrian Team T-Shirt Eagles Head Coach Sarah Irvine is pointing to. The shirt goes on to say "In it to win it," and the rider in this particular T-Shirt won back-to-back classes at Zone 4 Zones on April 10th.

BRIDGEWATER COLLEGE, MUCH OF REGION 2 ENJOY HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE AT ZONE 4 ZONES

Weyer's Cave, VA - If you have ever visited IHSA Zone 4, Region 2 to watch one of their regular-season horse shows you may recall that not only was the show over with in under four hours but the number of actual rides was limited to between eight and 20 per team (closer to the lower number more often than not). Because of these limits Region 2 has developed a reputation as one of the most competitive throughout the entire IHSA.

And many in Region 2 are very proud of this fact! Most of the Region 2 coaches thoroughly enjoy doing it the way they do. And if the eight limited regular season shows filtered out all but the very best riders for Zone 4 Zones then the plan worked out phenomenally. Nine of the 16 undergraduate riders who placed in the top two individually were from Region 2, giving the region made up of schools in the Western Central portion of Virginia much to be proud of.

And if that was not enough Bridgewater College, the Region 2 high point team during the regular season, came from behind to edge out St. Andrews Presbyterian College by a 42-41 margin for high point team honors. Bridgewater, now in their eleventh IHSA season, advanced a full hunter seat team to IHSA Nationals for the first time.

Let's see the front of that shirt. Lauren Casey of Bridgewater (on left) won individual novice flat and team intermediate flat to help Coach Irvine advance the Eagles to IHSA Nationals for the first time in program history. Irvine, who will retire at the end of the season, is the only Head Coach Bridgewater has had in the eleven year history of their program.

The host Eagles (there were two sets of Eagles in the team competition, as the University of Mary Washington are also known as the Eagles) kept their Director of Riding and Head Coach Sarah Irvine from hanging up the 'Gone Fishin' sign for almost another month. Irvine, an IHSA legend who co-coached Southern Seminary Junior College (with J.T. Tallon, now the Head Coach at Randolph College) to the last of their many IHSA National Championships in the 1980's, and who did double duty coaching both Bridgewater and James Madison University for the first six years of the 21st century, announced her retirement in February. However Irvine will not retire until the season has truly been completed for the Eagles, and with each passing show her riders keep extending her IHSA career.

Fate extended the season for everyone involved with Zone 4 Zones. John Roper, a highly-regarded Judge from Franklin, Tennessee had attempted to fly from Nashville to Charlotte and Charlotte to Roanoke the day before Zones. However Roper, who co-judged 2004 IHSA Nationals in Murfreesboro, Tennessee was stranded in Charlotte after tornados in the area and baseball-sized hail forced the cancelation of every flight until Sunday morning. Originally scheduled for a 9:30AM start, Zone 4 Zones did not start until 1:18PM in the afternoon so that Roper could fly in and then make the drive north to the Harrisonburg area. During one leg of the journey Roper's luggage disappeared, forcing him to wear the same outfit for two days.

With Roper finally in the Judge's chair, Individual Open Fences kicked off the contest. 11 riders (three from all but one of the four regions within Zone 4) navigated the course, and after the last had gone there was no further testing. Katie Hansen, a St. Andrews Presbyterian College sophomore from Toledo, Ohio won the division while Shelby Goodman from host Bridgewater was second. Hansen, who spent nearly the entire season leading the Region 3 Cacchione standings only to watch teammate Rob Jacobs pass her by one point, will compete at IHSA Nationals for the first time. Goodman, a junior from Smithfield, Virginia became the first Bridgewater rider to advance to IHSA Nationals in two seasons.

Team Open Fences followed, with Goodman improving on her red ribbon performance with a blue ribbon. Jacobs, who was not in the top six in individual open fences, was the red ribbon winner. Val Shurtleff, a University of Delaware senior from Bethany, Connecticut was third. Brittany Hill, a University of Mary Washington senior from Frederick, Maryland who like Jacobs will ride for the Cacchione Cup at Nationals, was fourth. It was the final ride of the day for Jacobs, a senior from Temple Hills, Maryland who is still remembered by many for his spectacular ride in individual novice fences at 2009 Nationals (also) in Murfreesboro, Tennessee which resulted in the loudest applause during day one of that National show not to mention a blue ribbon.

She was probably second in individual intermediate over fences. North Carolina State University Head Coach Thom Pollard poses with Wolfpack sophomore Kristi Styslinger before her 'top-two ride.' The announcer got caught up in the moment and announced that both Chelsea Hames of Bridgewater College (not seen here) and Styslinger would 'need their picture taken' but never actually announced the words 'first place' or 'second place' in association with their names!

The full compliment of 12 riders took part in Individual Intermediate Fences. We wish we knew the name of the announcer at today's show, for we were told by one of the Hollins University coaches that she is a regular announcer at many of the larger shows held in Central Virginia. Because the annoucer was told that each rider who placed first or second would need to have their picture taken in front of both the IHSA and USHJA banners outside the Bridgewater College Equestrian Center immediately after awards were announced, she did not start the announcements with the more traditional "In first place we have..." Instead she turned on the microphone and said "Number 337 is going to have their picture taken! And that is Chelsea Hames of Bridgewater College. And number 242 we will also need a picture of you. That's Kristi Styslinger of North Carolina State University." At no point was their an official announcement that Hames won the class and that Styslinger was second, though Hames was announced before Styslinger. The announcer went back to the traditional format to say "In third place is number 304 Kristine Guthrie of Lynchburg College" and did not omit an actual placing the rest of the afternoon. Both Hames, a senior from Chesapeake, Virginia, and Styslinger, a sophomore from Cary, North Carolina will each be making their IHSA Nationals debut (Editor's Note: Unlike most post-season IHSA shows, the results were announced from first through sixth rather than the more-dramatic reverse order. Also the placings were announced only to sixth. However no riders who placed below second received a ribbon associated with that place's traditional color. Instead everyone who took part in the show received a blue "Participation" ribbon which looked like a traditional blue ribbon. There were no yellow, white, pink or green ribbons on the BCEC premisis as far as this writer knows).

St. Andrews, which was making their first IHSA Zones appearance with a full hunter seat team for the first time, moved ahead of Bridgewater as Kali Cram won Team Intermediate Fences. A sophomore from Mooresville, North Carolina, Cram would not be the only member of her household to win at today's show. Molly Banfield, a freshman from Wake, Virginia was second for Mary Washington. This marked the first time in four classes that a rider from Region 1 finished higher than fourth. Taylor Rose, a Bridgewater freshman from Westminster, Maryland was third while Theresa Kulikowski, a University of Delaware senior from Rockville, Maryland was fourth. Kulikowski was a last-minute substitution. Through two divisions it was St. Andrews 12, Bridgewater 11, Mary Washington 8 and Delaware 7.

Individual Novice Fences was the fifth class of the day. As soon as the 12th rider was finished and past the in gate the results were announced lickity-split. Sarah Jarosinski, a junior from Powatan, Virginia was one of two Hollins riders entered at today's show. Jarosinski, who was eighth in team novice fences at 2010 IHSA Nationals was the champion today. Catherine Vaughan, a James Madison University sophomore from Richmond, Virginia revealed that she did not get up until 9:00AM in the morning after learning of the judge's delay and the revised start time for Zones a night earlier. The extra rest may have helped, for Vaughan was second to become the fourth Region 2 rider of the day (from three different schools thus far) to secure a trip to Nationals.

While Kali Cram won team intermediate fences, her identical twin sister Sami won Team Novice Fences for St. Andrews. This gave the Knights a 19-16 lead over Bridgewater, as Tara Deckel (a freshman from Cape Cod) was second. Kathleen Wallace, a University of Mary Washington sophomore from Midlothian, Virginia was third while Cori Zack, a University of Delaware freshman from Metuchen, New Jersey was fourth. The Eagles from Fredericksburg now had 12 points while the Fighting Hens from Newark had 10.

From left to right are Sandy Gerald, Sarah Jarosinski, Liz Courter and Nancy Peterson. All but Jarosinski make up the Hollins Coaching Staff while Jarosinski won individual novice fences for Hollins. Five different Region 2 schools (including Hollins) advanced riders individually to 2011 IHSA Nationals.

Though the BCEC has hosted IHSA shows for a decade, six riders did something that had never been done there before. Because Region 2 does not hold alumni classes, the first IHSA alumni class of any kind took place today, with three riders each from Regions 1 and 4 taking part in Alumni Fences. When the division had been completed first place was awarded to Sarah Thompson, a University of Richmond alum who graduated midway through the 2009-10 season. Second went to Wendy Myers, who was Wendy Tompkins when she rode for Salem Teikyo University in the 1990's (Salem Teikyo is now known as Salem International University, though the school opted out of the IHSA in 2006). The current Drexel University coach (she had two Dragon riders on hand) will be making her second IHSA Nationals appearance and first as an alumni (Myers e-mailed us after this story was originally posted to let us know she was fifth in individual intermediate over fences at 1996 IHSA Nationals).

Following removal of the fences from the ring Team Walk-Trot was the first flat class of the day. Though Roper had been on an arduous journey to get to the BCEC he did not rush the flat classes in any way. After a very respectable about of time in the ring first place went to Blake Liljestrand, a St. Andrews sophomore from Marietta, South Carolina. Diana Roberts, a Mary Washington sophomore from Glenallen, Virginia was second. Allyson Gallamore, a junior from King George, Virginia was third for Bridgewater while the University of Delaware's Jenn Eccleston (a sophomore from Claymont, Delaware) was fourth. St. Andrews won for the third time in a row while Delaware was fourth for the third time in a row. Mary Washington shaved a point off Bridgewater's lead for second. Through half the team classes it was St. Andrews 26, Bridgewater 20, Mary Washington 17 and Delaware 13.

The Individual Walk-Trot left this writer rather confused. The division was printed into the program in two heats, with six riders in each. Following the first heat the announcer said that the following four riders would be called back to compete in the individual walk-trot ride-off: 466, 384, 463 and 318. However this contradicted what was printed into the next page of the program: "Individual walk-trot ride off (if needed up to 4 riders may be called back)." If this was the case then none of the riders now entering the ring for the second heat would be eligible! Following the second heat the announcer said that the following four riders would be called back: 466, 463, 371 and 264. When the ride-off took place (following the team walk-trot-canter class) Drew Nichols from the second heat was the winner. A Lynchburg College senior from Frederick, Maryland, Nichols was joined in the winner's circle by Corrie Fittz of Bridgewater. A sophomore from Severen, Maryland, Fittz was the third Bridgewater rider of the day to advance to Nationals. Third went to Lauren Slamon of the University of Maryland (sophomore, Summit, New Jersey) while fourth went to Megan Olson of the University of Mary Washington (sophomore, Yorktown, Virginia), who like Fittz had been called back twice from the first heat. For reasons that no one could explain, ribbons for fifth and sixth were not announced or awarded for this one individual division. It was never made clear why the announcer called back four riders after one heat. A discussion with one coach present thought it odd to announce any callbacks through one heat. Suppose all six riders in the first heat picked up the wrong lead while all six in the second stayed on the correct lead throughout? Perhaps all future announcers reading this might want to say "Riders in the first heat you are now excused" and refrain from annoucing any callbacks until everyone from each heat has been viewed by the judge.

At last! A Region 1 undergraduate rider advances to Nationals! University of Mary Washington senior Isabelle Moore stands between her Grandmother (on left) and her Mother after winning the individual walk-trot-canter division.

The Team Walk-Trot-Canter division was held before the individual walk-trot ride-off. Geordan Duncan, a Bridgewater junior from Easton, Maryland won the division to snap St. Andrews' team classes win streak. Catherine Monk, a University of Delaware junior coincidentally from Newark, Delaware like the school she attends, was second for what was so far the best ribbon of the day for any Region 4 undergraduate rider. St. Andrews freshman Miranda Wright was third while Mary Washington senior Sarah Hagan was fourth. The hosts trimmed St. Andrews' lead from six points to three with three team classes still to come. Mary Washington was now seven behind Bridgewater while Delaware would need a miraculous comeback but was not far out of third place. St. Andrews 30, Bridgewater 27, Mary Washington 20 and Delaware 18.

Individual Walk-Trot-Canter finally saw Regions 1 and 4 prevail. Isabelle Moore, a University of Mary Washington senior from Pembroke, Virginia was the blue ribbon winner while Shilpa Deshpande, a University of Delaware senior from Hillsborough, New Jersey was the Reserve Champion. While Moore did not know before the day started if she would be riding at Nationals Deshpande was already qualified as an individual AQHA Trophy rider, having earned the most open level western points in her region. It will be Deshpande's first hunter seat ride at an IHSA Nationals event.

Alumni Flat followed, with only five riders entered owing to only two riders in Region 1 having reached the magic total of 28 points during the regular season. Jess Schatz, a 2007 University of Pennsylvania graduate won the division to reach IHSA Nationals for the first time. Angee Kerns, who was Angee Quattro when she graduated from Virginia Intermont College in 2003, was second. Kerns is not a stranger to IHSA Nationals, having shown there several times as an undergraduate while winning the alumni over fences class at 2006 IHSA Nationals in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Team Novice Flat kept Mary Washington mathematically alive. Alyssa Zarzecki, a freshman from Owings Mills, Maryland won the division for the 'visiting Eagles.' However Bridgewater junior Lindsey Goode was second, meaning the host Eagles gave back only two points. Zack was third for Delaware in her second ride of the day while Jennifer Callahan, a senior from Wrightsville, Pennsylvania was fourth for St. Andrews. With two team classes remaining the race for first was a good one, while Mary Washington still had mathematical hope of a comeback. St. Andrews 33, Bridgewater 32, Mary Washington 27 and Delaware 22.

George Mason University sophomore Carly Ziegler (on right) poses with Patriots Head Coach Bevin Nicholson after placing second in individual novice flat. Ziegler is the first rider in George Mason's six-year history of IHSA involvement to advance to Nationals.

A pair of sophomores were awarded the top ribbons in Individual Novice Flat. Lauren Casey, who hails from Wakefield, Rhode Island won the final individual blue ribbon for host Bridgewater. Ironically Casey had to dismount and re-mount immediately as she was the Eagles' team intermediate flat rider in the following class. The second place rider made history as the first-ever George Mason University rider to qualify for IHSA Nationals. Carly Ziegler, who hails from Centerville, Virginia was second to Casey. George Mason has been in the IHSA for six seasons and Ziegler will be their first rider to show at Nationals when she enters the ring in Lexington on May 5th.

Team Intermediate Flat was the 16th of 19 classes on this day. Casey accomplished the feat of winning back-to-back classes, earning the blue ribbon to give Bridgewater their first lead since only one team division had been completed. Banfield repeated her team intermediate fences placing while Sami Cram, who had finished third moments earlier in individual novice flat, was third again in her third ride of the day. Abby Randa, a University of Delaware junior from Sherburne, Massachusetts (and who trains at August Farm in Holliston, Massachusetts, the home of the Tufts University equestrian team) was fourth. As long as the team open flat riders stayed on in the eighth and final team class, the top two schools were safe to advance to Nationals. Through seven it was Bridgewater 39, St. Andrews 37, Mary Washington 32 and Delaware 25.

Individual Open Flat was next, with only 11 riders entered (Region 2 managed only two qualifiers in the division during the regular season). In similar fashion to the individual walk-trot a rider from Region 1 won the division while a rider from Region 4 was second. Amory Brandt, a Goucher College junior from Saratoga, California won the division. Perhaps the happiest (or at least loudest) for Brandt's win was teammate Karli Postel, who was also in the ring. "I screamed when I heard 113 was called," said Postel in refering to Brandt's back number for the day. Postel added that her scream may have 'freaked out' the rider to her left while everyone was lined up (Postel was fifth in the division). Second in the division was Villanova University senior Ellen Hansen (not related to Katie Hansen, who was in the ring for the division and who placed fourth). From Cheyney, Pennsylvania Hansen is only the second Villanova rider in program history to qualify for IHSA Nationals (Emily Lawless rode in individual intermediate fences at 2006 Nationals. Villanova joined the IHSA in 2004). Rounding out the top six were Lindsley Fletcher of Hollins in sixth and Region 2 Cacchione rider Tamara Morse of Washington & Lee University in third.

University of Delaware Head Coach Bryan Bradley (on left) poses with three of his seniors at Zones. Val Shurtleff (second on right) was third in team open fences and sixth in individual intermediate fences. Shilpa Deshpande (second on left) was reserve champion in individual walk-trot-canter while James Hobbie (far right) won the team open flat class that concluded the late afternoon proceedings.

The final individual class of the day was Individual Intermediate Fences. Also made up of only 11 riders for the exact same reason as individual open flat, the intermediate flat provided one more school with a Nationals qualifier. Olivia Smith, who hails from Darien, Connecticut, won the division to become the lone Sweet Briar College rider to qualify. Smith was also the only Freshman all day to place inside the top two individually. Second place went to Kelly Gerland of Lynchburg. A junior from Malvern, Pennsylvania, Gerland was the ninth and final Zone 4, Region 2 individual qualifier of the day. Region 2 was so dominant that only seven other riders zonewide advanced undergraduate individuals on this day. Five of the eleven Region 2 schools can claim at least one individual qualifier (this does not include Morse, who will show at Nationals in the Cacchione division).

Though many began leaving the BCEC at this point (it was already past 6:00PM on a Sunday evening) four riders went at it in the final class of the day, the Team Open Flat. With neither St. Andrews or Bridgewater having ever won a Zones show before there was considerable drama for the students involved with both programs. Once Roper made his decision the riders were lined up. For the first time all day a University of Delaware rider won a team class. James Hobbie, a senior from Branchburg, New Jersey helped make the Delaware team total a bit more respectable with a first. High point was still up in the air until Hill was announced as second. By virtue of the Region 1 Cacchione rider taking the red ribbon Bridgewater had clinched high point team honors for the day. Audrey Bolte, a St. Andrews Presbyterian College senior from Cincinnati, Ohio was third to shave a point off the Bridgewater margin of victory while Rose was fourth for the host Eagles. The final total was Bridgewater 42, St. Andrews Presbyterian 41, Mary Washington 37 and Delaware 32. For the record this was the closest margin separating the first place team and the fourth place team (ten points) at any of the eight IHSA Zones shows nationwide this season.

After Rose dismounted the entire Eagles team went outside for photographs in front of the IHSA banner. Coach Irvine was beaming as multiple photos - first with everyone involved with the program and then with today's competitors - were taken by a host of photographers and family members (some of Irvine's thoughts about the show can be found on the official Bridgewater College Athletics site, at http://bridgewatereagles.com/sports/equest/2010-11/releases/20110410dh9pb6). Though it will be Bridgewater's first time with a full team (and St. Andrews' first as well) at Nationals one would have to say the Eagles have as much a chance as anyone considering what they went through to get there.

Which Cram sister is it, Peggy? St. Andrews Presbyterian College Director of Riding Peggy McElveen poses with Kali Cram of the Knights (on right) after she won team intermediate fences. Cram's identical twin sister Sami won team novice fences two classes later. The Knights were ahead after both Crams won but eventually finished a point behind Bridgewater overall.

USHJA Ribbons presented during jump removal: The break to remove jumps lasted all of eleven minutes but during that time Goucher Head Coach Patte Zumbrun and Assistant Coach Jen Bunty presented awards on behalf of the United States Hunter Jumper Association (USHJA). A formula based on each rider's top five rides over the course of the season determined a 'top ten' for each division on a zonewide basis. These riders were given ribbons and other additional prizes (the latter if they placed high enough overall) that the USHJA provided.

The USHJA apparently wanted photos of each rider who placed in the top two at today's show. Following the placings someone from Bridgewater escorted each blue and red ribbon winner to the USHJA and IHSA Banners set up outside the BCEC for photos in front of each. It will be interesting to see where these photos turn up.

She can coach, she can steward and she can put together a spectacular show program!: St. Andrews Director of Riding Peggy McElveen was one of the four stewards at today's show (and the only one associated with one of the schools with a full team entered). In addition McElveen put together today's show program (this seems to go with the territory of being a Zone chairperson - Editor). And what a program it is! Besides including color photos of each Region Champion Team (though the Delaware photo was only a few riders at the Region 4 year-end banquet it was the thought that counts) a list of each team AND their coach from all four regions (including schools without Zone qualifiers) is included. It was one of the best IHSA Zones programs this writer has seen since his first time at a Zones show in 1992.

Beyond Nationals: In July Bridgewater Assistant Coach Ashley Mayes (who this writer thanks for pulling strings for a better parking space) will get married in July while Irvine will pursue her passion for Bicycle riding with a cross-country journey. Irvine is planning to cycle from Los Angeles to New York at that time. But for the moment it is on to Lexington and the first IHSA Nationals show for many who competed at the BCEC today.
