IHSA ZONE 4 - REGION 2

Photo
For many years the University of Virginia hosted 'Point Shows" in which only one rider per division would be allowed to compete for each team. And in such a situation there was only one section of each division held. But in 2023-24 the Cavaliers co-hosted back-to-back shows at the Barracks over the November 11th/12th weekend with multiple sections of each division held save for pre-novice. University of Virginia co-coach Madison Bonner (on left) poses with Georgia Rivero of the Cavaliers at the start of the first of the two back-to-backs. A junior from New Canaan, Connecticut (where her home barn is Silvermine Farm, home to the Sacred Heart University equestrian team), Rivero needed one point and received three in limit flat to qualify for Regionals that day.

According to the Washington & Lee University Athletics site the Generals tied for high point team with Hollins and Virginia Tech on November 11th with 35 points each. Four of their riders won classes, with introductory equitation rider Kaylin Jury (pictured) the first of the day to do so. This was the first time the senior from Lancaster, Pennsylvania earned an IHSA blue ribbon. When shows are held at the Barracks the order of the classes starts with intro, then novice, then limit flat, intermediate flat, open flat, limit fences, intermediate fences and finally open fences. This explains why Jury was judged to be first so early in the day.

She need five points to go to Regionals and she received five points! A sophomore from Richmond, Virginia, Madison Vaughan of Virginia Tech is seen here after placing second in novice equitation on November 11th to point out of the division. This was the fourth show of the season for Region 4 and the first at which the Hokies tied for a share of first place. But with multiple second place finishes ahead of their visit to the Barracks Virginia Tech apparently went into the fifth and final fall show the next day in second place in the region's team standings.

James Madison University was the third team to co-host with UVA and Washington & Lee on November 11th and 12th. On the 11th the Dukes were led by Kennedy Dewan, who was second in both of her intermediate classes that day. A sophomore from Virginia Beach, Virginia, Dewan (on right) is seen here with her Mother at the February 19, 2023 Washington & Lee show which was held inside one of the many arenas on the property of the Virginia Horse Center.

Seen here with her Father at the Barracks in Charlottesville on November 11th, Rhianna Gleason of Roanoke College holds a blue ribbon she won that day in intermediate flat. The Maroons junior from Midlothian, Virginia qualified for Regionals in limit fences at the October 22nd Lynchburg show.

Sometimes when a rider is done for the day they will change out of their show clothes in the blink of an eye. By the time our camera caught up with Ashly Cutcliff of Ferrum College the freshman from Dumfries, Virginia was over an hour removed from placing second in the lone section of pre-novice held on November 11th. Nevertheless Cutcliff (on left) and her Mother (sporting a Ferrum Sweatshirt) posed with the red ribbon in the viewing area of the Barracks that morning.

Though it looks vaguely like a tack shop this photo of Caroline Nicholson of Bridgewater College was taken inside the office at the Barracks on November 11th. Prior to the start of the show the Eagles junior from South Chesterfield, Virginia told us she was 14 points away from going to Regionals. However we forgot to write down if this was in limit flat (which would now be only 11 after a fourth) or in limit fences (which would now by 13 after a sixth, and there was another show there the next day).

The University of Lynchburg was one of sixteen schools to compete at the Holiday Tournament of Champions invitational in Long Valley, New Jersey on December 2nd. This was a homecoming for Hornets head coach Phillip Williamson (on right) as he competed for host Centenary University as an undergraduate in the previous decade. Lynchburg scored 17 points, with Ava Jackson (center) earning five of them. The sophomore from Apex, North Carolina poses with assistant coach Adeline Callihan and Williamson after placing second in limit over fences. On November 12th Jackson won her limit fences at the final fall Region 2 show, a feat she also accomplished earlier in the season when the Hornets were high point team at their October 22nd home show.

When Hollins University hosted and won the Region 2 season opener on October 7th Marissa Jones was reserve high point rider (first in limit fences and third in intermediate flat). When Hollins was second to host Lynchburg 15 days later the senior from Aldi, Virginia was first in both of those divisions and took home high point rider honors. Jones is seen here holding "Duke" on November 11th, a horse that happens to be owned by Hollins teammate Natalie Dresdow. We are not sure if she rode Duke that day but Jones was a winner in limit fences on the 11th. Hollins won at least two fall shows outright (High Point Team at Virginia Tech on November 4th) and went into the November 12th show leading the Region 2 team standings with 145 points. Before the next Region 2 show at Virgina Tech on February 17th Hollins will compete in the Winter Tournament of Champions invitational on January 27th in Hardeeville, South Carolina. Hollins will be the sole representative from Zone 4 that day at a show which will feature at least one IHSA program from each of the IHSA's eight geographic Zones.
