IHSA Western Starts Season Strong!

St. Andrews wins the first IHSA Western show of the season with 36 points beating NCSU by one point! Ella Brave from Sweden tied for reserve high point rider with Jasmine Fowler from Western Carolina.

At the second show of the double header, St. Andrews increased their lead to 9 points

Prior to the weekend Coach Carla Wennberg said, “We are ready, but we have some stiff competition and there are experienced riders on the visiting teams. Freshman Ella Brave is riding against Blaire Childress from NCSU who has been doing this for four years.”

With two wins under their belt and a lead of 9 points Wennberg reflected, “The first show is all about figuring out where we are, identifying the strong competitors, and seeing how everyone is riding. I was so pleased that everyone rallied on the second day in everything; precision, correctness, just more of everything which showed in their riding. It is great to see everyone out here having fun and enjoying being a part of the team.”
