The Equestrian Team had a great start to the competitive season this weekend with the IHSA Hunter Seat winning at home and IDA team winning at NCSU. The IHSA team had lots of support from friends, parents, alums and program supporters. This is just some of the people that stopped by to show their support.
• Alums visiting to IHSA - Rob Jacobs, Marianne Stark
• Bob Cacchione!
• Keith Wade stopped by around 9:15. “I’m on my way to the airport good to see the turn out”
• National anthem sung by Professor Bill McConnell
• Family members of Andrea Velez, Sami & Kali Cram, Kayla McBath, Tori Burkey. Paula Kramer, Hillary Todd, Caitlin Karolak, Alexandra Fullerton, Catherine McDowell.
• Announcer - Alum Mike Kryszak, Judge - Carol O’Brien Aiken SC
Bob Cacchione spoke during the lunch break.
“I am honored to be here today. Thank you to Peggy McElveen and the St. Andrews team for hosting the first and the last show of the season. You all will be taking part in hosting the IHSA National Championships at the Fairgrounds in Raleigh. I have been walking around talking to everyone and have been told by many parents that they will be there next May. If you make it to Nationals this year my hat is off to you, if you don’t qualify this could be the closest you will be to a National Championships. We have over 100 jobs that need to be filled, participating in these championships is something you can put on your resume. IHSA has sent 4 riders that have participated in the Cacchione Cup to the Olympics. The membership is currently 8,600 individual members and growing.
Every year IHSA raises the bar at the National Championships, knowing Peggy McElveen and Carla Wennburg I know we are in for something very special next May.”
