The University of Wyoming equestrian club continues to make positive strides in western riding.
After placing eighth out of nine teams in that style of riding last season in its Intercollegiate Horse Show Association zone, UW notched its second top-five finish of the season last weekend at Laramie County Community College (LCCC) in Cheyenne.
Led by Katie French (Plymouth, Minn.), Mccabe Jones (Dillon, Colo.) and Kristina Maddocks (Hecla, S.D.), UW placed third behind the University of Nebraska and host LCCC in Saturday's show.
Earlier this season, UW finished fourth at a western show in Lincoln, Neb.
While UW couldn't duplicate its success in Sunday's show, French won the walk-trot class for the second straight day and first-time contestants Kimberly Kuhn (Cheyenne), the reining Miss Frontier of Cheyenne Frontier Days, and Aurora Lambert (Anchor Point, Alaska) turned in fourth-place finishes in their classes.
Lauren Heisel (Story) and Samantha Enyart (Saint Paris, Ohio) also showed well over the weekend, says UW Coach Kari Randle.
UW returns to competition Nov. 22-23 at a hunter seat riding event in Omaha, Neb.
