2012 ZONE 5 ZONES RESULTS
Virginia Intermont College prevailed at home at 2012 Zone 5 Zones,
scoring 44 points to win outright. This was a one point improvement
over their 2011 Zones effort, which resulted in a tie with Savannah
College of Art & Design at 43-all (VI won the tiebreaker). With the
win VI sends a full hunter seat team to IHSA Nationals for the 13th
consecutive season, which is the current longest active hunter seat
streak of full-team appearances at Nationals. Savannah College of
Art & Design will also have a full team at Nationals, earning
reserve high point team honors with 41 points. VI was also very
successful in the individual classes, earning four top-two placings
including Lauren Fay's first in open fences and second in open flat.
Region 4 rival Virginia Tech also faired well, advancing three riders
individually. Murray State University from Region 1 advanced two
undergraduates to Nationals as well as two alumni. Former Racers
rider Ashley Eggersdorfer advanced twice, placing second in both
alumni divisions. With her win in individual open flat McKenzie
Armour of the College of Charleston has advanced to Nationals
individually each of the past three seasons.
