With 4 team members (Tara Davies, Jennifer Gradel, Megan Lissi, and Cole Warminsky) qualifying for the IHSA National Championships in Ohio, KU sent more individual undergraduate riders to Nationals than any other school in the Zone. Zone 3 encompasses parts of 7 states and is the largest zone by number of competitors in the IHSA, with over 1100 individual riders from 57 different colleges and universities. KU also had one of the highest percentages of individual riders from any one team placing at Nationals.
2004 ~ KU finished
in the elite group this year. We did what no other team has done since the
inception of Zone 3, Region 4. We won it all. We were the Z3R4 Hunt Seat
Champions, and we were the Z3R3/4 Stock Seat Champions. We went on to win the
Zone Championship in Stock Seat and sent our nationally ranked team to the
National Championships in Tenneessee. We also sent Zone Champion W-T-C rider
Ashley Werner and Zone Champion Individual Open Flat rider Ashley Force, reserve
