Campus Equestrian: Zone 2, Region 5 Home Page

IHSA ZONE 2 - REGION 5

"Line" and "Lynn:" From left to right are sisters Angeline and Jacqueline Chalifoux of the University of Pittsburgh as seen waiting for horse draw during the December 2, 2023 Holiday Tournament of Champions invitational in Long Valley, New Jersey. From Wexford, Pennsylvania, Angeline (Angel-Line) competed in the Tournament of Champions low medal division while Jacqueline (or Jack-Quel-Lynn) competed in limit flat. The Tournament of Champions annual series of events has been around since 1991 but this was the first time the University of Pittsburgh has ever competed in a TOC series event.

She was about to ride in limit fences when this photo of Seton Hill University's Riley Miller was taken at the October 17, 2021 Bethany College show. Fast forward to the start of 2024 and the senior from Uniontown, Pennsylvania leads the Region 5 hunter seat open rider standings by 16 points through six shows. Seton Hill is hoping to unseat defending region champion West Virginia which ended the Griffins run of five consecutive region titles last season. If they do it will be a mixed blessing for Miller's mother Amy, as she coaches the West Virginia University hunter seat team!

Bethany College has one rider qualified for 2024 Regionals and she is Nataley Kemmer (on left, with head coach Beth Johnson). A junior from Canfield, Ohio, Kemmer is one of three Region 5 riders to have pointed out of intermediate fences during the fall.

It is a good thing that Halli Bidwell (on left) is seen here with one of her Mercyhurst College riders. For if the Lakers coach had posed with an Allegheny rider she would have needed to take her cap off! Bidwell coaches both Mercyhurst and Allegheny, and the "M" on the cap is just fine alongside Jeanette Baker of the Lakers. A sophomore from Madison, Ohio, Baker is qualified for Regionals in both limit divisions.

Don't let coach Bidwell pose with Maya King of Allegheny College while wearing the Mercyhurst hat! How about a photo of the team step stool in her place? Yes this works just fine. From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, King is seen here at the October 9, 2022 Slippery Rock University show holding up the Allegheny step stool. King was in a good mood as a week earlier she had won her introductory class to qualify for 2023 Regionals. This season King is one of three Allegheny riders qualfied for 2024 Regionals, having pointed out of novice equitation.
