From Iron Station, North Carolina, Atkinson is seen here with head coach Tharyn French after placing ninth in individual intermediate over fences at Zones on April 1st.

Of the three Region 3 schools which are part of the University of North Carolina system the school with the most points in 2022-23 is UNC-Wilmington.

A sophomore from Charlotte, North Carolina, Porier poses with coach Taylor Yeaton after placing seventh in individual intermediate equitation on the flat on April 1st.
