From left to right are Emily Boller, Binghamton University head coach Mimi Penfield, Allison Howard and Amanda Loeffler of the Bearcats as seen at the November 21,
2021 Nazareth College show. Howard would win her limit flat class a short time later. Boller was the only rider to win twice that day, the best in both of her intermediate classes to take high point rider honors.
Loeffler was previously high point rider at the Region 1 opening day show at Cornell. Both Boller and Loeffler were members of the 2019-20 Binghamton University team that won a tight, three-way race over Cornell
and Rochester Institute of Technology to capture the program's first-ever Region Title.
