IHSA ZONE 8 - REGION 4

She did it her way! From Tigard, Oregon, Kellsie Knolin of Oregon State University (pictured) competed in the last class of 2016 IHSA Nationals. Being a senior, it would also be Knolin's final IHSA undergraduate ride. When the final result of individual novice western horsemanship was announced at 4:10PM last May 8th it was Knolin receiving the final individual blue ribbon of the 2015-16 IHSA season. It could be said that Knolin went out on her terms!

The final 90 minutes of 2016 IHSA Nationals were very good to the Oregon State Beavers. Head coach Dawn Ross (on left) saw open rider Rachel Nordby (on right) win the final team class of the event which was open Western Horsemanship. From Bend, Oregon, Nordby completed her freshman year by almost doubling the Beaver's point total at '16 Nationals to 15 points. Nordby also earned a sixth in team open reining, thus accounting for better than half of the Oregon State points. Nordby also finished sixth (out of 25 riders) in the individual AQHA High Point Open Rider division. Needless to say coach Ross was very happy to see Nordby and Knolin win what would be the last IHSA classes held anywhere for a few months!

The University of British Columbia could claim two riders showing at 2016 IHSA Nationals. Natalie Nahirney competed for the Cacchione Cup while Claire Anderson (pictured) was entered in individual intermediate on the flat. Though she attends a Canadian school Anderson calls Mill Valley, California home. Anderson impressed, earning the red, reserve champion ribbon in the division at AllTech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington last May 5th.

Earlier we told you that Knolin's name was the last one announced in individual novice western horsemanship at Nationals. With the results read aloud in reverse order Tenth place is the first official ribbon announced (though a few riders are given honorable mention prior to this). From Olympia, Washington, Tessa Churchill of Central Washington University (on left) poses with Wildcats team captain Ellye Main prior to riding in the novice western horsemanship division. Churchill was in fact tenth in the division. However Churchill finished ahead of Knolin at the Findlay, Ohio Semifinal in March, placing third there to Knolin's fourth.

2015 Western Washington University graduate Mikaila Wireman (pictured) was first while...

...2014 University of Oregon graduate Aslin Kreitz (pictured) was second in Alumni over fences at Zone 8 Zones in Stanford, California last April 2nd. With Region 4 the only Zone 8 Region to send Alumni riders forward to Zones Wireman and Kreitz were the class at Zones. Though Kreitz was second she did manage to earn a better jumping score than Wireman at IHSA Nationals in Lexington, Kentucky a few weeks later, with the Judges awarding a '62' to Kreitz and a '60' to Wireman.
