SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. — After a successful riding season and a second-place finish at last week's Regional Championship, Captain Olivia Champ represented Dartmouth at the Zone 1 Championship in Open Fences at Mount Holyoke College on Saturday.

An impressive accomplishment, Champ qualified for Zones all four years of her riding career at Dartmouth.

To qualify for Nationals, riders had to finish in first or second in their competitive 10-person class. Champ had an outstanding ride over fences and finished third, narrowly missing out on Nationals.

Co-Captain Erin McCarthy-Keeler will be representing Dartmouth at Nationals this year in Syracuse for the Teresa McDonald Scholarship Challenge, her third time doing so since joining the Big Green. As a passionate horsewoman, she has mastered skills in horse care and veterinary knowledge, which helped her score as one of the top-two test-takers in all of Zone I.

The team will be competing at Cornell next Sunday for Ivies, with the goal of securing the Ivy Championship title.
