Seventy-five equestri an team members and three coaches make this years squad the biggest and possibly the best A&M has ever seen. In their first outing of the sea son, Oct. 6 and 7, the Aggies came away from the West Texas A&M Western shows with a second place and two third place postings. In the first show, A&M took second behind West Texas. Indi vidually, Quincy Cahill took the high point rider honors mid'placed first in open horsemanship and sec ond in reining. The Aggies came away with five first place ribbons. In the second show, A&M wrapped up third in a tie with Sul Ross behind West Texas A&M and newcomer Kansas State. In the reining competition, Tannetje Mayeux came away with a fourth place finish followed by Cahill in sixth place. Other first place fin ishers included Jessica Racher, advanced I, section II, and Danielle Aeck, intermediate I. In the third show at West Texas A&M, OSU stepped up and came out with a first place finish. Behind them were West Texas A&M, fol lowed, by the Aggies. Jamie Bodi- ford, open section 1, and Sommer Morgan, advanced II, section II, placed first at the meet. Next, the Aggies will travel to take on Oklahoma State Univer sity in English competition. A&M will face OSU, the reigning na tional champions, as well as oth er opponents, Saturday and Sun day. This will be the first English show that A&M has competed in thus far in this season. Last year the Aggies came away fifth out of 100 teams in na tional Western riding competition held in Atlanta, Georgia. This year the team has grown to 75 girls from last years 45. The ability level ranges from begin ner to intermediate to advanced. “We’ve gotten a lot of strong new riders; I think we will be competitive,” said English and Western rider Jessica Rogers. Not only the quantity of the riders have increased, but also the quality. “We have a lot of new faces, a lot of new talent, a lot of great at titudes. We had a great first show,” said coach Tana Rawson. Along with an increase in ros ter, the facilities the Aggies prac tice in and the horses they ride have also improved. “The facilites have increased in the fact that we’ve gotten a new arena (N.W. “Dick” Free man Arena), which allowed us to have a new outdoor arena. It also gave us more opportunities for practice time,” Rawson said. “With the addition of the stalls, we were able to take on some new horses. We’ have the opportunity to have better horses to ride on which is ultimately bet ter for the girls riding.” The top returners for A&M are Quincy Cahill and Germaine Dougherty. Cahill, a Western rid er who was the national champi on and the high point rider. The top English rider, Dougherty, won zones in the open category and the open fences category. Dougherty placed fifteenth out of 26 in the Cacchione cup.
