He won three consecutive classes early in the day. He is Cody Wooten, and I wish
I could remember the name of the Wooten family dog his mother is holding on the right! Wooten
(center, with his Father on the left) won both individual open classes and team open over fences
to start 2016 Zone 3 Zones. Wooten kept his senior year from coming to a halt and helped Centenary
College send a full hunter seat team to IHSA Nationals for the eleventh year in a row.
DEJA VU: CENTENARY COLLEGE WINS, DELAWARE VALLEY PLACES SECOND AT ZONE 3 ZONES
Logan Township, NJ - As was the case each of the past three seasons,
Centenary College was again high point team at Zone 3 Zones on April 10th.
Caroline Norton won both team novice classes while Cody Wooten won team open
fences and Carolyn Brouard won team walk-trot to help the Cyclones to 46
points and high point team honors.
Delaware Valley University was runner-up for the fourth straight year and
again had to rally to overtake Penn State for the honor. Olivia Gardner
started the comeback with a win in the fourth team class (intermediate flat)
while Kimberly David was a winner in team walk-trot-canter. Delaware Valley
riders placed no lower than second over the final five team classes. Early
on Penn State looked like they might get back to Nationals for the first
time since 2012. Daniella Carissimo bested Wooten in team open flat while
Katie Groomes won team intermediate over fences to put the Nittany Lions in
first place by an 18-17 margin on Centenary through three team classes.
Del Val had but nine points and fourth place overall at that moment before
Gardner's win started a gradual climb to second place for the Aggies.
