SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Converse University equestrian team is headed to Statesboro, Ga., this weekend for the Georgia Southern Show on Saturday and Sunday.
The Valkyries equestrian team had a great outing at the first show of the year. Last season, the Valkyries had riders competing in IHSA Regionals at Lander and
Halle Aho made a run to IHSA Nationals, where she was named the Reserve Champion in the Introductory Equitation event.
Aho's runner-up finish was the highest finish by a Converse equestrian rider in over 30 years. Aho becomes the programs second All-American, joining Cooper Chapman following the 1992 season.
Returning to the equestrian team this season along with Aho are seniors
Sarah Lawler, Lanie Pardue and
Nora Warren. The other upperclassmen include
Catelyn Caughman,
Sydney Duda,
Shannon Goldy and
Bailey Smith.
Argelinia Sinclair is the lone newcomer to the Converse equestrian team this season.
