Weekend Meets Cap Equestrian Regular Season
3/2/2019 4:03:00 PM | Equestrian
The South Dakota State equestrian team finished its final two meets of the regular season Saturday, falling to No. 6 Oklahoma State, 11-5 and Delaware State, 10-9.
Â
"While this weekend didn't end with the outcome we were looking for, we had some very deserving rides as well as several career highs and I could not be more pleased with the way the Jacks rode against both opponents," head coach Ellie Wilkins said.
The Jacks close out the regular season with a 1-7 record.

Oklahoma State Meet
After finishing up Friday in a 4-4 tie at the halfway mark against OSU, the Jackrabbits fell in Equitation on the Flat and Reining to drop the meet, 11-5. Cassidy Gardiner scored a career-high 68 in her ride in reining, and Catelyn Hall earned a point with her score of 70.5 in the same event.
Â
Delaware State Meet
SDSU opened its meet against DSU with a 2-2 tie in Horsemanship. Kodi O'Boyle earned a point in her ride with a career-high 75.5. Whitney Vesey (73) tallied the other point for State and Jadyn Taylor's 70 resulted in a tie with her opponent to keep things even through the first event.
Â
The Jacks pulled ahead to 5-4 after taking Equitation on the Flat 3-2 behind a career-high ride of 86 by Alexa Maiello. Matilyn Skinner (78) and Claire Garduno (72) garnered the other two points in the event.
Â
Jordan Gates (63.5) and Rylee Streit (60) each tallied points in Reining, but the Jacks fell 3-2 in the event. Freshman Shaina Rasmusson made her debut with the team, scoring a 64 in her first ride as a Jackrabbit.
Â
Maiello scored a career-high 85 in Equitation over Fences, but it was Garduno (79) and Jessica Martinez (82) who earned points for the Jacks in the event. The Jacks lost a close final event 3-2 to ultimately drop the meet 10-9.
Â
The Jackrabbits are now 0-5 all-time against OSU and 5-5 against DSU.
