Campus Equestrian: Zone 2, Region 4 Home Page

IHSA ZONE 2 - REGION 4

Long Island University - C.W. Post College captured their second Region Title in program history and their second in four seasons. One of LIU - Post's riders had a field day at Regionals on March 26th. From East Islip, Long Island, Mallory Slack (pictured) won both of her intermediate classes that day. On April 8th Slack was second in individual intermediate fences and thus made it through to IHSA Nationals where she will compete in the same division on May 4th.

Two other Region 4 riders earned two individual rides at Zones. Stony Brook University senior Erin Brody (on right, with Seawolves head coach Myrna Treuting) was second in both open classes at Regionals on April 26th. Brody, who can claim her mother also rode for the Stony Brook equestrian team some time earlier, ended her IHSA undergraduate era with eight place ribbons in both open divisions at Zones in Saratoga Springs, New York on April 8th.

The third rider to go forward twice from Regionals is Cassandra Costello of Adelphi University (pictured). From West Islip, Long Island, "Cass" as she is known won novice fences and was second in novice flat at Good Shepherd Farm on April 26th. Adelphi did not field an IHSA team for over 20 years before it was re-started in 2013. Costello is the first Adelphi rider to qualify for Zones since the team re-appeared four seasons ago. Somewhat remarkably Costello did not earn her first IHSA blue ribbon until her senior year, when she won a novice fences class at the March 5th Columbia show.

All ten Region 4 schools sent at least one rider to Regionals. The lone member of the Hofstra University team to qualify in 2016-17 is Kate Milford (pictured). From Hagerstown, Maryland, Milford finished her sophomore year with a sixth in advanced walk-trot-canter at Regionals on March 26th.

In total contrast New York University had nearly a dozen riders qualified for Regionals (including a few which did not compete). From Galloway, New Jersey, NYU sophomore Madison Charlton (pictured) competed in two classes at Regionals. Though she was fourth in open flat Charlton won the blue ribbon in open fences to advance to Zones where she placed fourth. Teammate Laura Jung (not pictured) and head coach Ashton Phillips (also not pictured) both advanced through to Nationals, with Jung second at Zones in individual walk-trot and Phillips the champion in alumni flat.

NYU coach Phillips also coaches Princeton University. The Tigers sent one rider to Regionals in senior Natasha Dombrowski (pictured). From Glen Ridge, New Jersey, Dombrowski won the individual walk-trot-canter at Good Shepherd Farm on March 26th and finished four years at Princeton with a sixth at Zones on April 8th.

Princeton is not the only Ivy League school in Region 4. In fact Columbia University has been a member of the region since mid-2005 when the region earned its' current name (previously it was known as Zone 3, Region 1). Both Columbia and Princeton competed in the yearly All-Ivy League Championship show held in Ithaca, New York on April 23rd. Columbia freshman Nora Bordewick (on left, with head coach Penny Kinnally) had as good a day as anyone, winning both her open flat and intermediate fences to help the Lions finish third for the day with 31 points.
