IHSA ZONE 5 - REGION 1

Photo
It was not until the sixth class held at 2023 IHSA Nationals that a Zone 5, Region 1 rider competed in the four-day event. That rider is Madeline Cunningham of Maryville College (on right, with head coach Christen Khym). A senior from Hilton Head, South Carolina, Cunningham had won the individual limit on the flat class at Zone 5 Zones over a month earlier. On May 4th Cunningham faced the best from all eight zones; She set the tone for Region 1's great weekend in Lexington by once again earning the champion ribbon in individual limit flat, the best in a field of 16 riders. Maryville College won their first Region Title in 17 years and their second ever in program history. At 2023 Zones Maryville finished only a point behind the University of South Carolina (31-30) for second place and the right to take a full hunter seat team to IHSA Nationals.

Audrey Ferrie of Middle Tennessee State University is seen here relaxing in the stands at AllTech Arena in Lexington, Kentucky last May 6th prior to competing in Team Level II Western Horsemanship. From Warren, Pennsylvania, Ferrie would account for 13 of the Blue Raider's team points at 2023 IHSA Nationals. Ferrie earned five points on May 6th, then kicked off May 7th with a third in Team Ranch Riding for eight more (the scoring system is different at IHSA Nationals events, with ten points awarded for first, eight for second, seven for third all the way down to a half point for tenth place).

Perhaps the only Region 1 Western Rider not from Middle Tennessee State to compete at 2023 IHSA Nationals is Brooke Sullivan of Western Kentucky University (center). Seen here on the floor of AllTech Arena in Lexington between co-coaches Paige Smith (on left) and Creste Jean, Sullivan (who is from Dacula, Georgia) closed out her senior year last May 7th with an eighth in individual open reining in the third-to-last class held over the four day event.

While the team competition would be most memorable for MTSU the Blue Raiders had their share of individual rides that went very well at 2023 Nationals. Louann Braunwalder (pictured) was one of two Middle Tennessee State riders to compete in the individual level I horsemanship class in Lexington on May 5th. While teammate Maddie Westbrook was seventh Braunwalder (who is coincidentally from Murfreesboro, Tennessee where MTSU is located) was third in the Level I to close out her junior year.

Gillian Aiken of the University of the South (on right, with head coach Karine Gordy) competed at 2022 IHSA Nationals in the individual open flat. At 2023 Nationals Aiken represented Region 1 in the Cacchione Cup Competition. The top three in the Cacchione Class at Zones advance to Nationals and Aiken was in fact third in the division at Zone 5 Zones in Hardeeville, South Carolina last April 1st.

One of the busiest riders at 2023 IHSA Nationals - be it someone from Zone 5, Region 1 or not - is Jordan Martin of Middle Tennessee State University (on right). Martin's ribbon roll call looked like this: A fourth in Team Open Reining on May 5th; a sixth in Individual Open Horsemanship later on the 5th; a second in Team Open Horsemanship on May 7th and second in the Individual High Point Rider division (which determines the top western rider in the country) also on May 7th. Like her teammate Braunwalder, Martin is also from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Martin's second in the last class actually held (team open horsemanship) made certain that head coach Ariel Higgins (on left) had the 2023 IHSA National Champion Western Team which was the first such title in MTSU program history.
