Campus Equestrian: Zone 2, Region 4 Home Page

IHSA ZONE 2 - REGION 4

Long Island University - Post College smashed many a region record during the 2021-22 season. Since the region was re-named Zone 2, Region 4 in mid-2005 no school from the region had taken a full team to IHSA Nationals. Not anymore. Since 1998 no school from the region had won a Zones show. Not anymore. And no school from the region had ever sent as many as 13 individual undergraduate rides to Zones. Not anymore. The Sharks won Zone 2 Zones on April 9th by a 43-41 score over host St. Lawrence University and at Nationals finished fourth overall only nine points from high point. And even one of their alumni won a class at Nationals! From left to right are 2021 graduate Mackenzie Ashe, Sharks head coach Brooke Chasin and open rider Anna Perlow. Though there is only one blue ribbon in this photo both Ashe (in alumni fences) and Perlow (in open fences) won back-to-back classes to start the third day of 2022 IHSA Nationals in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on May 7th.

Only two Region 4 undergraduate riders Not from Long Island University advanced through the March 20th Regionals show to St. Lawrence on April 9th. One of them is Maria Russo of Princeton University (on left), at the time a senior from Staten Island, New York who by virtue of winning the eighth and final undergraduate class at Regionals kept LIU from going undefeated. Russo won the introductory equitation class at Regionals and finished seventh in the division at Zones. Princeton head coach Ashton Phillips (on right) won the Alumni Flat on March 20th which means this photo has everyone who left Regionals with a blue ribbon and did not head back to LIU when the show was over! Phillips was second in the division at Zones and fifth in the Nation in Alumni Flat at what was somewhere between his fifteenth and twentieth appearance at IHSA Nationals in an alumni class since the early 1990's.

Both Columbia University and Princeton are part of the Ivy League for most sports and every year since 1997 there has been an Ivy League Invitational show. Also called the "All Ivies" this show is made up of all the Ivy League schools that can make the April event. On April 24th Cornell hosted the event and Columbia University had one of their best all-ivies ever. While Cornell dominated with 47 points, Dartmouth College was second with 29 by only a point over Columbia. Lions head coach Penny Kinnally (on left) is seen here with Gigi Spence, then a senior from Barrington Hills, Illinois who won her final two rides prior to graduation. Spence was first in open flat which at an all-ivy means an appearance in the "Championship Class" for the same division. Spence faced the runner-up from her section and the top two in the other section and prevailed once more in the field of only four.

Both the photo of Spence and Kinnally and the photo of Russo and Phillips were taken at Cornell's John T. Oxley Center in Ithaca, New York during the All-Ivy last April. But if you look closely at this photo of Binghamton University graduate Annalisa Ferrotta (on right) with her Mother and "Timmy" you might get the same feel. This is because Region 4 alumni rider Ferrotta was still an undergraduate at Binghamton when this photo was taken at Cornell's Oxley Center sometime between 2017 and 2019. Ferrotta was second in alumni fences and third in alumni flat at 2022 Regionals on March 20th. Ferrotta finished out 2021-22 with a ninth in alumni fences in Canton, New York on April 9th.

Kara Bromschwig of Long Island University - Post (on left, with coach Chasin) nearly went undefeated in intermediate flat during the 2022 post-season. From Huntington, Long Island, Bromschwig is seen here in the winner's circle at IHSA Nationals on May 5th after defeating 15 others to become intermediate flat champion. At Zones on April 9th Bromschwig won out over nine others. But at Regionals on March 20th Bromschwig was second to teammate Samantha Beck (not pictured, who went on to place second to Bromschwig at Zones) in a field of only four riders. We were going to mention that LIU-Post will host the final Region 4 fall show at North Shore Equestrian Center on November 13th but Hofstra added a show on November 20th (only learned about on October 2nd) bringing the total to six shows ahead of the mid-season break.
