MOUNT HOLYOKE COLLEGE SCORES THE MOST OFTEN, CLAIMS HIGH POINT TEAM HONORS AT 2013 HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS INVITATIONAL

Long Valley, NJ - There have been significant snowfalls when the Holiday Tournament of Champions event takes place at the Centenary College Equestrian Center, or at least in 2007 and 2009 there were such weather events. When this happens it makes for an interesting trek for riders who mount up in the original or 'old' indoor to walk their horses outdoors for about 250 feet into the shiny-new indoor (which opened in 2001 but has been so well maintained it seems brand-new). This time around only those who were still in New Jersey the next day had to contend with a snowfall. It may have been cold on December 7th but it was also a clear day for the most part.

While host Centenary College was high point team at both the 2009 and 2011 events at their indoor, the 2007 winner in Long Valley managed to break through again. Mount Holyoke College had two separate teams in the competition, one labled "Team Blue" and the other "Team Lyons." Team Lyons earned points in seven of the eight divisions and hung on for a 32-30 victory over one of two teams host Centenary College had entered. Centenary's "Blue Team" came up with two blue ribbons but ultimately was the red ribbon-winning team.

There were also a pair of Medal divisions, with one being a Collegiate Medal class made up entirely of college riders. This division is held instead of a ride-off for high point. It turned out that each of the 23 schools present entered at least one rider into this division, where everyone flats and then waits for a callback in which only 12 participate in the over fences round. After all 12 riders had jumped Judge Sarah Good called four riders back for further testing. The winner turned out to be Delaware Valley College senior Chelsea Koerper, who has faired well on occasion in Centenary's new indoor (Koerper won a team class there at 2011 Zone 3 Zones). Carly Corbacho of Boston University was the reserve champion. Corbacho was no stranger to the color red as she was also second in her open flat class not to mention that Boston University's school colors are mostly red.

Twenty high school-aged riders took part in the Equestrian Talent Search Medal division. There were two flat classes of ten riders each followed by ten survivors who were afforded the opportunity to jump. Four of these ten were tested a second time. Jessica Sikorski, a high school senior from Glastonbury, Connecticut (who was one of two riders who train with Jeryl O'Keefe to take part) was the reserve champion. The winner of the ETS Medal had nearly won the division two years earlier when Centenary had last hosted the Holiday Tournament. Skylar Laakso, a high school senior from Lexington, Massachusetts (whose trainer, Katie Schaaf, was on hand because she coincidentally coaches Tufts University's IHSA team) was reserve champion in 2011 and the Grand Champion on December 7th. All seven schools of interest Laakso mentioned in her biography within the show program had full teams in attendence. If Laakso opts to attend one of those seven - specifially Delaware Valley College - she may save a few extra pennies. Prior to the start of the show Tournament of Champions series creator and director Jim Arrigon and Delaware Valley College Head Coach Cory Kieschnick announced that Delaware Valley would offer an $8,000.00 scholarship to any senior who wins the ETS Medal division. Kieschnick explained that the scholarship is 'renewable' in that it can be used each year up to four school years (essentially it is worth $32,000.00 rather than $8,000.00). Kieschnick indicated that this will be an ongoing offer at future Tournament of champions events. Regardless whether or not Laakso goes to Delaware Valley this offer will be there for the taking for future ETS Medal contestants.

We even got Gwen Arrigon in this photo! Gwen (in back on the far right) made certain her husband Jim gave out the correct ribbons for each class. Jim Arrigon is on the far left, Skylar Laakso is in the middle while Delaware Valley College head coach Cory Kieschnick is on the right (before you get to Gwen). Laakso nearly won the Equestrian Talent Search medal division at the 2011 Holiday Tournament. This time she moved up from second to first. If the high school senior from Lexington, Massachusetts attends Delaware Valley Laakso can take advantage of the scholarship offer Kieschnick presented to her.

All but five of the schools entered in the team competition were either defending IHSA Region Champions or current region-leaders, or both. In 2011 we examined the results of each school in alphabetical order, which seemed to be well-received. Therefore we will go that route again here...

Boston University (fourth place, 24 points): The Terriers earned points in four of the first five divisions and held second place behind Mount Holyoke Team Lyons at that moment. Corbacho and sophomore Leal Morehouse (in intermediate fences) won red ribbons while Emily King (junior, Boxford, Massachusetts) won the second section of intermediate flat. This may have been Boston University's highest placing to date at a Tournament of Champions event.

Cazenovia College (7 points): The Wildcats scored points in three divisions with freshman Samantha Bogert (from Islip Terrace on Long Island) earning Cazenovia's best ribbon with a fourth in novice fences.

Centenary College (Blue Team in second place with 30 points; White Team with 3): It was not at all a surprise that the host Cyclones produced a top-two team. Centenary won each of the previous two Holiday Tournaments in which they hosted and have been a top five team (if not a National Champion) at the past five or so IHSA Nationals events. Kathryn "Katie" Haley (senior, Orchard Park, New York) was a winner in open flat while Catherine McIveer's win in walk-trot put Centenary Blue within striking distance of first place going into the final walk-trot class. Haley and Deanna Zajic started the day with red ribbons in open and intermediate fences, respectively. It was a surprise that one of the two Centenary teams scored but three points. Shelby Cashman did her part, the sophomore from Highland Falls, New York earning all three White Team points with a fourth in open flat. Samantha Pyle was eighth in her open fences but later was fourth in the Collegiate Medal class.

Delaware Valley College (seventh place via a tiebreaker, 21 points): The Aggies were only seven behind Mount Holyoke Team Lyons prior to the walk-trot and walk-trot-canter divisions which closed out the itinerary. Allison Bienas (sophomore, from Newtown, Pennsylvania) won the second section of novice fences for Delaware Valley's only team ribbon above third place. The Aggies were one of six teams (joining Goucher, Randolph, Sacred Heart, Virginia Intermont and Centenary Blue) to earn points in exactly six of the eight team divisions.

Through five fall shows Carly Corbacho of Boston University leads the IHSA Zone 1, Region 4 open rider standings. Corbacho had a pretty good day on December 7th, earning seconds in both open flat and the Collegiate Medal division. The junior from Boston, Massachusetts is seen here with her reserve champion Medal ribbon.


Drexel University (four points): The Dragons took the longest to get on the scoreboard, with Nicki England - Strickland placing fifth in novice flat to take the goose egg off the scoreboard. Walk-trot-canter rider Michelle Crescenzo added a fifth to close out the scoring for the defending Zone 4, Region 4 champions (who like everyone else that was in this region last season are now in the new Zone 3, Region 5).

Goucher College (18 points): The Gophers hit their peak early, as Joey Fink (junior, Baltimore, Maryland) was second in the second open fences class. Goucher would score six times but would not place as high as second again. Over the first two Tournament events this season Goucher is in fourth place behind Randolph, SCAD and Mount Holyoke in the race for the Tournament of Champions series trophy.

Lafayette College (11 points): The Leopards and Rutgers University finished the fall tied for first place in the Zone 3, Region 4 team standings and in the early going Lafayette had the edge. Rebekah Scharfe (junior, Manchester, Massachusetts) won the second open fences class to put Lafayette in a tie for first with Tufts University through one division. However the Leopards earned two fifths the rest of the way.

Mount Holyoke College (Team Lyons Champion with 32; Team Blue with 15): Once Jessica Murray (junior, East Longmeadow, Massachusetts) won her intermediate fences Team Lyons was no less than tied for first place throughout the rest of the day (and only briefly were they tied with Tufts for first). Surprisingly Murray was the only Mount Holyoke rider to win a class on either of their teams. However Genevieve Couldwell (in novice fences), Abby Raucher (in intermediate flat) and Callie Calder (in walk-trot) each were red ribbon winners for Team Lyons. Christine Choo of Team Blue was second in walk-trot for the best ribbon earned by the other group of Lyons. Ella Pittman did not ride for either Mount Holyoke 'team' but earned a ribbon by placing sixth in the Collegiate Medal class.

This photo actually comes from a Zone 4, Region 2 show earlier this fall. Randolph College junior Shannon Stepp (pictured) won her intermediate flat class on December 7th. This was one of three blue ribbons the Wildcats earned over four classes which allowed them to move from the middle of the pack to third place for the day.

Penn State University (at State College, ie, the main campus - 11 points): The Nittany Lions were strong out of the gate as Brendan Weiss was third in open fences (one of three males to place in the top four in the section which started the show). Walk-trot-canter rider Kristie Stamitis was second in the final class of the day. In between Penn State managed a pair of sixths. This Penn State team is better than the scoreboard reflects and future Touranment events and perhaps Zones will bear this out.

Randolph College (third place, 25 points): Through open and intermediate fences the Randolph Wildcats were one of four schools without any points. But things would get better as the day went along. Going into the final five divisions with only two points Randolph won three times outright, making them the only school to win as many as three blue ribbons at today's tourney. Morgan Hoke (freshman, Kingsville, Maryland) and Shannon Stepp (junior, Fredericksburg, Virginia) won consecutive classes, with Hoke a winner in novice flat and Stepp tops in her intermediate flat. Averie Morgan would win the first of three sections of walk-trot-canter (both walk-trot and walk-trot-canter were divided into three sections while the other divisions were divided into two). The Wildcats have certainly been consistant over two tournament events, as they had both the second and third place teams at the Pre-Season Touranment of Champions (which they hosted) and third place today.

Rutgers University (16 points): The Scarlet Knights trailed region rival Lafayette until the final class of the day. Walk-trot-canter rider Francesca Krempa won the blue ribbon to raise Rutgers' total to 16 points at an event where they were one of three teams which did not have to leave the state to compete. Had ribbons been awarded to twelfth place the Scarlet Knights would have been twelfth.

Sacred Heart University (14 points): The Pioneers made their first-ever Tournament of Champions appearance when Centenary hosted in 2011. This time Sacred Heart scored often but not all that high. When Brianna Formicola was third in walk-trot it marked the only time Sacred Heart scored above fourth at today's show. At least the Pioneers can say they placed in the top eight with seven of their eight team rides.

Savannah College of Art & Design (eighth place; 20 points): SCAD was another team which snuck up on everyone late in the day. After Michael Kocher was fourth in open fences in the curtain-raiser the Bees did not score again until the flat classes commenced following the lunch break. Cecilia Langley (sophomore, from Savannah, Georgia no less) won the first walk-trot class of the day while two other Bees were yellow ribbon winners. SCAD won the Pre-Season Tournament in Lynchburg, Virginia and along with Randolph and Mount Holyoke are very much in the running for the Tournament of Champions Series trophy.

"Raleigh" the black labrador is seen here with (from left to right) Tufts University junior Ally Boxer, head coach Katie Schaaf and sophomore Chase Boggio. Boggio won the open fences class which started the day while Boxer was third in intermediate fences a short time later. At that point Tufts briefly held the lead before Mount Holyoke tied it in the second intermediate fences section and later went ahead for good.


Stevens Institute of Technology (14 points): The Ducks were one of three New Jersey schools to compete. Currently second in Zone 3, Region 3 to Centenary, Stevens earned their 14 points over three rides. Alexa Policari was fourth in open fences, Louise Moores was third in walk-trot and Marisa Pickell (freshman, Brick Township, New Jersey) won her novice fences.

Tufts University (12 points): In total contrast to the teams which heated up late in the day, Tufts scored all but one of their points in the first two classes. Chase Boggio (sophomore, Atlanta, Georgia), who has made quite a name for himself on the "A" circuit, was a hit in his first Tournament of Champions appearance. Boggio defeated the likes of Katie Haley, Brendan Weiss and Michael Kocher to win the open fences class which started the day. Former Skidmore College rider Ally Boxer followed up with a third in intermediate fences. Through two divisions Tufts and Mount Holyoke were tied for first with 11 points each.

University of Delaware (19 points): It was a case of Feast/Famine for the Fighting Hens as four riders scored all of their points. Davide Alexis was third in intermediate fences while three riders earned red ribbons. Dana Ford (in novice flat), Bethany Euler (in walk-trot-canter) and Abby Foley (in walk-trot) were second in their respective divisions as UDel moved up in the standings late. Their 19 points put them technically in ninth place though team ribbons were only awarded to eighth.

University of Findlay (13 points): Though Findlay has shown in tournament events located closer to their Ohio base the past few seasons this was the first time the Oilers competed in Long Valley in many years if ever. Sophomore Jasmine Wehr won her walk-trot to account for seven of the Oiler's 13 points.

University of Massachusetts at Amherst (fifth place, 21 points): The three-way tie for fifth was broken first by most blue ribbons (UMass had two) followed by most blue or red ribbons (Virginia Intermont had one of each while Del Val had one blue). When Bridgit Douglas (senior, Bridgewater, Massachusetts) won her open flat she temporarily put the Minutemen a point behind Mount Holyoke Team Lyons (16-15). Earlier Emily Curran (freshman, Katonah, New York) won the first section of intermediate fences.

Curran was one of many riders present (both of high school and college age) to have taken part in Arrigon's Equestrian Talent Search clinics prior to going to college. UMass won a tiebreaker for fifth place as the Minutemen had not one but two blue ribbons.

University of Wisconsin at Madison (eight points): The Badgers and Savannah College of Art & Design appear to have traveled the furthest to get to Long Valley. For the Badgers the highlight may have come more in the Medal round, as open rider Kristie Hohol was third behind Corbacho and Koerper in a field of 25. Hohol (junior, Palitine, Illinois) was sixth in open fences to score Wisconsin's first point. Jane Ann Monson was third in novice fences while Sydney Carpenter added a fourth in walk-trot-canter at the eleventh hour to put the Badgers ahead of three teams.

Vanderbilt University (ten points): This was the first appearance to date for the Commodores at the Centenary College Equestrian Center. Addie Bodell, a freshman from Providence, Rhode Island was second in novice fences to account for half the current Zone 5, Region 1 leader's points.

Virginia Intermont College (sixth place, 21 points): The Cobras steadily moved up the standings as the day progressed. Bailey Halverson (sophomore, Charlotte, North Carolina) won her novice flat while Ashleigh Ramey followed it up with a second in intermediate flat. Senior Danielle Clark, who has competed in many Collegiate Medal classes over the years, was fifth in this division at today's show.

Virginia Tech (18 points): Like both Mount Holyoke Team Lyons and the University of Delaware the Hokies earned three red ribbons. The first of the three was won by Morgan Schneider, who two years ago made the top ten in the ETS Medal class as a high school senior when Centenary hosted. The sophomore from Hillsborough, New Jersey was second in open flat. Junior Kayleigh Burke followed with a second in novice flat while junior Sarah Lipps was second in walk-trot-canter. If ribbons were awarded to tenth place Virginia Tech would have won a tie-breaker with Goucher for tenth thanks to more red ribbons.

Photo
We managed to blur a photo of Centenary College senior Kathryn "Katie" Haley taken during the Tournament, so instead we present a photo from 2011 IHSA Nationals when she could not be beaten on the flat. Haley was first in open flat, second to Boggio in open fences and tenth in the Collegiate Medal. Haley earned 12 of 30 points for the Cyclones 'Blue Team' which ended up the reserve champions.


West Virginia University (nine points): The Mountaineers had but two points before their final rider of the day, Marie Hackney, rode to victory in her walk-trot-canter class. Still give credit to the current Zone 6, Region 5 region leaders, as they usually compete in at least two if not all three Tournament events (West Virginia did compete at the pre-season tourney during which they scored 14 points).

What's next?: Prior to the start of the show Arrigon explained to the coaches and captains that there has been so much interest in the Tournament of Champions series that a record-setting fourth Tournament event will likely take place in April. This yet-to-be-named event (which does not yet have a location) will serve either as a tune-up for Nationals for a few teams or as a second-chance opportunity for a few teams which came up short at Zones or earlier.

The Third Tournament event is set in stone (save for a weather disruption). The annual Winter Tournament of Champions is scheduled to take place at Hazelwild Farm in Fredericksburg, Virginia on Saturday, January 25th. This is the home facility for the University of Mary Washington, which will be one of several teams competing that day which did not show at Centenary on December 7th. According to Arrigon there were several teams that would have liked to attend the Holiday Tournament but due to final exams had to decline invitations. At least two teams which participated in the pre-season tournament but were not at Centenary are scheduled to appear in Fredericksburg (St. Andrews and Bridgewater in case you were guessing). The judge will be former Stonehill College rider Tom Brennan, who competed for the Sky Hawks when they won their only National Championship in 2003. Because some teams will have showed at more 2013-14 Tournament events than others the awarding of the Series Champion Trophy will go to the team with the most points across their two best shows (essentially you can drop your lowest score if you show three times; If your school shows in only one of the three through the Winter event then that team is ineligible for the trophy). Right now Randolph appears to have the lead though several schools which only showed once could move right into the thick of the race with a good outing at Hazelwild (Editor's note: The Tournament Series Trophy will be awarded at the third event and not the proposed fourth event towards the end of the season, at least not during the 2013-14 season).

Coached since the fall of 1984 by C.J. Law (front row on far left), Mount Holyoke College has now won five Holiday Tournament of Champions events after "Team Lyons" edged out Centenary's Blue Team 32-30. This writer wonders if Mount Holyoke has set a record for Tournament of Champions series appearances. Mount Holyoke won the first-ever tournament event in 1991 and has fielded at least one team at every Tournament of Champions event this writer can recall over the past 11 years.
