IHSA ZONE 6 - REGION 1

Photo
Albion College has competed at each of the first two Tournament of Champions invitational events held so far in 2023-24. Most recently the Brits competed in the Holiday Tournament of Champions in Long Valley, New Jersey on December 2nd. Hunter Seat head coach Chris Mitchell (on right) previously coached at Randolph College and Cornell University, where he also took teams to the tournament series. On the left is Albion open rider Phoebe Martin, a sophomore from Algonquin, Illinois who scored four of the Brits' five points on the 2nd with fifths in both of her rides. Teams are usually only invited to TOC events if they are currently in first or second place within their region or if they were a region winner the previous season. In this case Mitchell has Albion in second place in the Region 1 hunter seat team standings through three shows.

Seen here last May 4th near the horse draw carousel at IHSA Nationals in Lexington, Kentucky is Delani Franklin of Lake Erie College. A junior from Cupertino, California, Franklin finished the fall in first place in the Region 1 hunter seat open rider standings (with Martin of Albion in second place 11 points back). The Storm were supposed to host two shows the first weekend in November but health concerns regarding horses kept this from happening. Lake Erie will hopefully host shows on February 24th and 25th to close out the region's English schedule with a total of eight shows.

From Willoughby, Ohio, Hannah Belich of Lake Erie College is seen here at 2023 Nationals waiting for her individual open western horsemanship class last May 5th. Belich is only two points behind the University of Findlay's Kaitlyn Howe for the top spot in the Region 1 western open rider standings through four shows. Belich was one of the few riders to compete in both English and Western classes at 2023 Nationals, showing in both the individual open on the flat and the Cacchione Cup competition prior to placing fifth in individual open western for her only top ten ribbon that weekend.

Between their Western and English riders the University of Findlay had more rides at 2023 IHSA Nationals than any other school in the entire IHSA. Findlay was the only school to advance a full hunter seat and a full western team through to Nationals in Lexington. One of the first Oilers to compete over the four-day weekend was Abigail Utterback (center, between her parents). Utterback was sixth in individual limit over fences on May 4th but could be back at Nationals again this season. The senior from Toledo, Ohio has qualified for Regionals in intermediate flat while the Findlay hunter seat team is 18 points ahead of Albion headed into the winter break.

Both Faith Borbonus (on left) and Hayley Mertz (on right) of the University of Findlay showed twice at 2023 IHSA Nationals held at Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park last May. Each of them competed in the individual level II western class on May 6th, with Mertz seventh and Borbonus the Reserve National Champion in the division. Mertz is already qualified for 2024 Regionals in level II ranch riding while Borbonus has three firsts and a fifth in four open reining rides over the first four shows. So far this century Findlay and the Ohio State University are the only IHSA western programs to have won a Region Title every single season save for the lost covid school year of 2020-21 when their regions were idle.
