IHSA ZONE 2 - REGION 1

Binghamton University can claim nine riders are qualified for Regionals through November 20th, putting the Bearcats in a tie for second place with Ithaca College for that honor at the moment. One of them is Elizabeth Renshaw (on right, with head coach Mimi Penfield), who is seen here at the February 21, 2016 Cornell show following a blue ribbon effort in the advanced walk-trot-canter division she went on to point out of this season. Binghamton was one of only two teams to score 30 or more points at each of the first four Region 1 shows.

Sitting in sixth place through six fall hunter seat shows, the University of Rochester had their best day of the fall on November 19th when they scored 32 points to earn reserve high point team for the day. The Yellowjackets can claim five Regional Qualifiers including Kelly Tighe in intermediate fences. The junior from Edinboro, Pennsylvania is seen here with head coach Peggy Gauger at the February 28, 2015 Alfred show during which Tighe won her novice fences class.

From Canastota, New York, Alfred University senior Alicia Mayville (pictured) is one of five riders to have reached 28 or more points in the open fences division through the first six shows (which means those riders are going to Regionals). Alfred is the only school other than region-leading Cornell to have won a Region 1 hunter seat show so far in 2016-17. The Saxons were 35-34 winners over the Big Red at the October 29th RIT show and also tied Cornell for high point team at 36-all a day later.

She was second in both of her novice classes at the November 19th Nazareth College show, qualifying for Regionals in novice fences. The next day she was third in novice flat and qualified for Regionals in that division as well. From Liverpool, New York, she is Rochester Institute of Technology junior Emma Bronner (pictured) and for the moment Bronner rides for the number two team in the region. RIT has been extremely consistant through six shows, scoring between 28 and 35 points each competition. Bolstered in part by new open rider Claudia Freeman (not pictured) RIT's 194 points have them six ahead of Binghamton, nine ahead of Ithaca and sixteen ahead of Alfred for current reserve champion status.

There are two schools in her hometown, and both of them are members of Zone 2, Region 1. A senior from Ithaca, New York, Claira Seely shows for Cornell University. Seen here after winning her novice flat class at the February 2016 Cornell show, Seely is one of 12 Big Red riders qualified for Regionals through six fall shows. Seely is bound for Regionals in both novice flat and intermediate fences. Sitting at 240 points, region-leading Cornell is looking for their sixth hunter seat Region Title over the past seven seasons.

Between the end of last season and the start of 2016-17 the IHSA lost Hamilton College head coach Jean Raposa (on left) who passed away in July from complications of multiple myeloma. Seen here with Hamilton open rider Anna Arnn at the February 2016 Cornell show Raposa spent much of her life as a horse trainer. Raised in Rhode Island, Raposa had operated White Fox Farm in Clinton, New York from February of 1980 until her passing. She coached the Hamilton IHSA team from 2010-16. Raposa was even teaching lessons less than three weeks before her passing. "She was quite the true horsewoman, and an infinitely strong and kind person," says Arnn.
