These Equestrians Don't Horse Around

In its first year of competition, the College's equestrian team jumped out of the starting gate and raced toward a national title. Junior Annette Bangert led the team to the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) National Championship. Representing the best in Zone 3, Bangert competed against 16 riders from around the nation and placed fourth in the Hunt Seat Equitation Division at the 2002 Championship in May.
"This is a significant accomplishment," said Coach Sandy Griffiths. "During the season, our team was up against schools that had been fielding riders for years and never sent anyone to the Nationals. For Washington College to have achieved this in its first year is really something to brag about."
