IHSA ZONE 3 - REGION 3

Let's hear it for the hyphens! From Los Angeles, California, Ashley Spector - Townsend of Sarah Lawrence College is seen here before competing in her intermediate flat class at the October 3, 2021 United States Military Academy show. Her boots are from an Italian company called Secchiari based in Zona Industriale, Italy. Spector - Townsend was a hit in these boots that day, with judge Barbara Filippelli placing her second over fences and third on the flat. Now a sophomore, Spector - Townsend is the only Sarah Lawrence rider qualified for Regionals through the fall. A first in novice fences on October 8th and a third in intermediate flat on October 15th meant Spector - Townsend will ride in both of those divisions at Regionals on April 1st.

Let's hear it for the hyphens yet again! Drew University freshman Alyx Swope - Bell (on right) has four firsts, a second and a third in intermediate fences. If you do the math that comes to 37 points and a trip to Regionals in the division. From Decator, Arkansas, Swope - Bell is the only Drew rider qualified through the fall, also becoming the first qualifier for first-year Rangers head coach Megan Finkle (on left). Finkle is the only new Region 3 head coach in 2022-23.

Centenary University has 12 riders qualified for Regionals including Hannah Kent (pictured). A senior from Marlton, New Jersey, Kent earned three firsts and two seconds in open fences across the five fall shows she was entered in. Though Kent currently rides in intermediate flat her 31 points over the open jumps have her in fourth place in the Region 3 open rider standings. .

The United States Military Academy at West Point briefly led Region 3 following their opening day win at Crosswinds on September 24th. The Black Knights have the second-most Regional Qualifiers with eight including Peter Trevenen (center, between his mother and grandmother). From Topsfield, Massachusetts (on the North Shore of Boston), Trevenen was second in pre-novice on October 3, 2021 when this photo was taken in the library at the USMA's facility. Now a senior in his second season with Army, Trevenen has qualified for Regionals in novice equitation.

The State University of New York at New Paltz is one of four Region 3 schools to break the 100 point barrier during the fall. The Hawks tallied 106 over six shows and five riders punched their tickets to Regionals including Madeleine Barkman (on left). Hawks head coach Helaina Riccardi and Barkman pose for the camera following Barkman's first in limit fences on October 1st. However the junior from Cold Spring, New York is qualified for Regionals in limit flat.

Marist College and the USMA are in a close race for second place through six shows with the Red Foxes up 157-151. Seen here with her mother, Samantha Fellenz (on right) is one of seven Marist riders qualified for Regionals. The sophomore from Fishkill, New York was third at the November 19th Centenary show to point out of intermediate fences. Region 3 will hold not one but two hunter seat shows at Crosswinds Farm (which is home base for Marist) on February 25th. The Red Foxes will host the first show while the entire region will co-host the event which follows.

Vassar College has only one rider so far in 2022-23 to compete in more than one division. She is Stella Schram (on left, with Brewers head coach Michelle Clopp) and the senior from Rochester, Minnesota competes in both limit divisions. Schram is one of two Vassar riders with a second this fall, earning a red ribbon at the November 12th Marist show.

This photo dates from leap year day 2020, less than two weeks before the pandemic put the IHSA on hold in most places for what seemed like a decade at the time. On 2/29/20 Peter Cashman (on left) was in his first season as Executive Director of the IHSA. Peter still maintains a close tie to the USMA as his wife Sherry (not pictured) is sole head coach of the Black Knights since Peter stepped down as co-coach to take the Executive Director position in mid-2019. Peter is seen here with Kate Patterson of the USMA, then a freshman from Chandler, Arizona who placed third in pre-novice at Crosswinds that day. On October 15th with Army hosting Patterson was third in novice equitation to qualify for Regionals. Patterson is one of three USMA riders qualified in novice and one of seven regionwide so far to secure a ride in this division on April 1st.

From Webster, New York, Benjamin Hoben of Centenary University (on left) is seen here with Cyclones' co-coach Michael Dowling in the Centenary indoor after placing first in team intermediate on the flat at 2022 Zone 3 Zones last April 9th. Centenary won the first three team classes that day and never trailed en route to high point team honors and a trip to IHSA Nationals with a full hunter seat team. Hoben pointed out of both intermediate divisions over the first two shows this fall and has moved into second place in the open rider standings behind teammate Morgan Munz (not pictured). Centenary will again host Zone 3 Zones, the show scheduled for Saturday, April 8th one day shy of last year's event. With the Cyclones up by 50 points on Marist with three shows remaining there is a high probability the host school will again have a full hunter seat team entered in the competition.
