It is now or next year if the Texas
A&M women’s western equestrian
team hopes to advance to the nation
al meet in Conyers, Ga.
The Aggies will travel to the An
imal Science Arena in Stillwater,
Okla. today for the last three shows
of the regular season from Friday
through Sunday.
West Texas A&M has a 14-point
lead over the Aggies as A&M hopes
to secure their place with the nation’s
best. Kansas State is a distant third
and Oklahoma State rounds out the
top four in the region.
Unlike the English competition,
only the top team in the region gets
to advance to the national meet.
First year head coach Tana Raw-
son is very optimistic about the Ag
gies chances of upending WTAMU.
“Ultimately we would like to get
ahead of West Texas,” she said. “The
ability will be there, but it takes a lit
tle luck too.” “It’s possible, it’s very
possible. That’s our goal.”
Several Aggies have already
qualified for the regional meet. The
team is led by junior Quincy Cahill
who is the defending national cham-
ion in the reining class competition.
While she has already qualified in
the reining class, she needs only two
points to qualify in the open class.
Cahill is also on the verge of se
curing the American Quarter Horse
Association High Point title, which
will make her the number one west
ern rider in the nation. She has a
commanding lead over WTAMU’s
Tara Standridge, 63 to 48.
Junior Brenda Farias has ad
vanced to the regional meet in the
beginner class.
Senior s Danielle Aeck and Jessi
ca Rogers have advanced in inter
mediate horsemanship.
Qualifying in the advanced class
are sophomore Julie Beken and se
nior Lizzie Urbanovsky.
Senior Jamie Bodiford and
sophomore Tannetje Mayeux will
try to earn enough points to move on
to regionals in both the open and
reining classes.
Mayeux is not letting the pressure
get to her.
“You can’t stress about things,
you can only do as good as you can
do,” she said. “So I’m just going to
do my best, and I know 1 have a
chance. I know that all of us are go
ing to try our best. I think A&M will
do good.”

the team’s have used that time to
prepare for the LSU matchup.
Coming off their double sweep
against Stephen F. Austin State Uni

- San Antonio Roadrunners last Sat
urday, the Aggies hope to stay un
defeated for the season when they
meet the No. 23 LSU women’s ten
nis team (4-0).
