IHSA ZONE 8 - REGION 5

Photo
Grace Nordhoff of the University of Colorado at Boulder (on left, with Buffaloes head coach Erin Mullane) had as good a Zones show on April 8th of 2023 as anyone. From Barrington, Rhode Island, Nordhoff won both of the Limit classes held at the Stanford Red Barn that day. Nordhoff and Mullane are seen here inside AllTech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park, which was the site of 2023 IHSA Nationals. Nordhoff's best ride at Nationals was a seventh in individual limit over fences on May 4th.

University of Nebraska at Lincoln head coach Lori Jaxien (on left) has advanced a Full Western Team to IHSA Nationals every year since the 2009-10 season. It was the first IHSA Nationals for Cadi Wilbeck of the Cornhuskers (on right), a freshman coincidentally from Lincoln, Nebraska who rode twice in the western team competition. Wilbeck was eighth in team level II western horsemanship last May 6th and seventh in team ranch riding the next day.

For the second year in a row the University of Denver sent a rider through to IHSA Nationals. In 2022 it was Mia McLaughlin and in 2023 it was Kenzie Riddell (on right, with her Father). Coincidentally from Denver, Colorado, Riddell was second at Zones in the individual intermediate over fences to advance to Lexington where this photo was taken in the stands early in the morning on May 4th.

When we received the update from the Findlay, Ohio Semifinal on March 18th of last year we were told that Kristen Miessler of Colby Community College was third in individual level I western horsemanship. But when we took this photo of Miessler at 2023 IHSA Nationals waiting for horse draw we forgot to ask if her first name is "Kristen" or "Kirsten" as it was printed into the IHSA Nationals program (which had a fair number of typos involving first and last names). The only Zone 8, Region 5 western rider Not from the University of Nebraska to reach 2023 IHSA Nationals, Miessler closed out her sophomore year by placing fifth in level I at Nationals on May 5th.

Colorado State University captured their third consecutive hunter seat Region Title in 2023 and their fourth in the past five seasons (excluding 2020-21 when Region 5 did not hold shows due to covid). The Rams also had the 2023 Region 5 Cacchione Cup representative in Isabella Graff (pictured). From Rio Rancho, New Mexico, Graff was third at Zones in the Cacchione class at the Stanford Red Barn on April 8th to advance to Nationals in the division.

She was tenth in team open reining. She was fourth in both individual open western horsemanship and team open western horsemanship, and she was third in individual open reining. But when people read about 2023 IHSA Nationals in the future Sarah Eberspacher of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln will be remembered for placing First in the Back-On-Track-sponsored individual high point open rider division more than anything else. From Beaver Crossing, Nebraska, Eberspacher is seen here near the Cornhusker's table on the floor of AllTech Arena in Lexington, Kentucky last May 5th before her first of five classes over the next three days. Eberspacher is the second Nebraska rider to win the individual high point as the top IHSA Western Rider of the year (Selena Finn captured the trophy in 2015).
