IHSA ZONE 3 - REGION 3

Centenary University was certainly busy at 2025 IHSA Nationals. Not only did the Cyclones have a full team entered they also had the Region 3 Cacchione rider in Caroline Mancini and six individual class rides including intermediate over fences in which Aislinn Bermingham (pictured) was entered. A sophomore from Chatham, New Jersey, Bermingham was sixth in individual intermediate over fences which was the second hunter seat class held at Nationals in Mill Spring, North Carolina last May 2nd.

Marist College qualified eleven riders for 2025 Regionals including Ana Lattanzio (pictured). From Roseland, New Jersey, Lattanzio pointed out of both intermediate fences and limit flat during her sophomore year with the Red Foxes.

The United States Military Academy qualified nine riders for 2025 Regionals including Claire Shioutakon (on left). From Rockville, Maryland, Shioutakon was one of two USMA riders to qualify all the way through to 2025 IHSA Nationals. While Bermingham of Centenary was sixth in individual intermediate fences Shioutakon was sixth in individual intermediate on the flat to close out her sophomore year. Former head coach Sherry Cashman (on right) was the USMA co-coach with her husband Peter Cashman for over a quarter century until Peter became the IHSA's second-ever Executive Director in 2019. Then Sherry was the head coach exclusively through the fall of 2024.

And yet another member of the class of 2027 got to compete in the 2024-25 post-season. From Grand Gorge, New York Taylor Ernst of Centenary University is seen here after winning the team limit over fences class at Zone 3 Zones on April 5th. The Cyclones went on to win at home 44-37 over Delaware Valley University. At Nationals Ernst's over fences combined judge's score of "87" was far enough ahead of second place that Ernst was not part of a test. Thus Ernst won team limit over fences on May 3rd to help the Cyclones tie for third overall.

Marist College head coach Clare Knapp (on right) is seen here with Julia Reid of the Red Foxes after the latter placed second at Regionals in individual limit equitation on the flat on March 29th. From Marshfield, Massachusetts, Reid would close out her junior year with a fifth in the same division at Zones a week later.

Former University of Massachusetts at Amherst rider and former Hartwick College head coach Elisabeth Smith Price (on right) took over as head coach of the United States Military Academy for the spring 2025 semester. And Smith Price would see two of her riders go to Zones. And at Zones both riders advanced through to Nationals. The other USMA rider is Amy Miseli (on left), a junior from Dripping Springs, Texas who was second in individual introductory equitation at both Regionals and Zones to join Shioutakon at Nationals.

At both Regionals and Zones Miseli of USMA was second to Ciarra Launzinger of Centenary University in the individual intro class. From Parsippany, New Jersey, Launzinger is seen here after winning the division at Zones which Centenary hosted on April 5th. At Nationals on May 3rd Lauzinger closed out her junior year with a second in the division. If you include the Cacchione Cup Competition Region 3 had ten individual rides at 2025 IHSA Nationals and Launzinger's second was the best individual ribbon earned by a Region 3 rider over the three-day weekend.
