Campus Equestrian: Zone 1, Region 2 Home Page

IHSA ZONE 1 - REGION 2

Last season the University of Vermont advanced a full hunter seat team to IHSA Nationals for the second time in three seasons. And at Nationals on May 4th Wenzdae Wendling of the Cattamounts (pictured) was second in team introductory equitation to earn almost half of Vermont's team points over the course of three days. From Wolcott, Vermont, Wendling is seen here the next morning sporting the team colors and the red ribbon at the Tryon International indoor in Mill Spring, North Carolina.

This photo of Anna Berd of Endicott College (on horse) with head coach Megan Martin and IHSA Founder Bob Cacchione would have been right at home on our Zone 1, Region 4 page last season, for Endicott was still a member of Region 4 at the time. From Hubbardston, Massachusetts, Berd closed out her senior year with a first in individual novice equiation at IHSA Nationals on May 3rd. Now back in Region 2 (where they were for a few years on one prior occasion) the Gulls were in fourth place through the first two shows of 2024-25.

Wending was a senior, Berd was a senior, and so was Antonin Cornillon of Northeastern University (pictured) when each competed at 2024 IHSA Nationals. From Sunnyvale, California, Cornillon was the third of three Northeastern riders to compete at Nationals on May 3rd. After placing second in individual limit on the flat at Zones on April 6th Cornillon closed out his time with the Howlin Huskies by placing tenth in the division on May 3rd in North Carolina (IHSA Nationals classes are currently pinned to tenth place). Northeastern was in second place through two shows in the fall of 2024.

Between Northeastern and Endicott in third place at the time was the University of New Hampshire. The Wildcats were only 13 points behind the University of Vermont through two competitions. According to the UNH Equestrian Team Facebook page open rider Sophie Shields (on left, with head coach Haley Eagan) majors in Medical Microbiology and plans to attend dental school after graduation. Through the first two shows the senior and team captain from Newbury, New Hampshire was tied for fourth in the Region 2 open rider standings.

Tied with Shields at that time was Mia Rae of Colby-Sawyer College (pictured). A junior from Belfast, Maine, Rae had earned 17 open level points headed into the November 2nd Endicott show.

Just below Shields and Rae was Sophia Channell of Endicott College (pictured). A senior from Vergennes, Vermont, Channell had 15 open points after two shows.

Not only was the University of Vermont leading Region 2 by a 85-78 margin over Northeastern following the October 13th Colby-Sawyer show the Cattamounts even had the most Regional qualifiers with five including Kallista Musselman (pictured). A junior from Columbus, Ohio, Musselman is one of five Region 2 riders to have pointed out of limit fences over the first two shows. There were four fall shows (and according to the University of Vermont Equestrian Team Facebook page the Cattamounts won the fourth show hosted by the University of New Hampshire) and so far one early 2025 show is scheduled for March 8th. The University of Maine and the University of New England will co-host that event at Whishmaker Stables in Rollinsford, New Hampshire.
