Although last week’s Ivy League Championships ended the Cornell equestrian team’s season, three individual riders will be heading off to represent the Red at Nationals. Seniors Amanda Ko and Claira Seely, along with sophomore Laura Vasquez-Bolanos, all had stellar performances at Zones last month that allowed them each to move forward into the highly competitive individual Nationals tournament. Every year, hundreds of collegiate riders come from across the country to compete in the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association Nationals. “It’s more the fact that it’s Nationals, especially for the seniors, because it’s kind of their last hurrah,” Novakovic said. “I think I’m actually more nervous to go in as an individual,” Seely admitted.
